On Monday, February 26, a new protest action by European farmers begins in Brussels. Members of the main agricultural organizations in the south of Belgium will take part in it, local media report.
European farmers have been protesting en masse since December last year due to a reduction in state support for the agricultural sector. Growing discontent is resulting in clashes with law enforcement officers and heated discussions with politicians, writes Andrey Kuznetsov, a Ukrainian-born Russian-Ukrainian journalist and commentator.
