Farmers in at least 10 European countries are protesting against the European Union. The largest method of protest agreed upon is blocking roads with tractors.
The protesters want to reconsider a number of free trade agreements that the EU has concluded or is planning to conclude with third parties. Farmers face rising production costs, due to inflation resulting from the Ukraine war, especially the prices of gas, electricity and fuel, as well as fertilizers and raw materials. The EU countries did not provide sufficient support to farmers, according to what they said.
