Tractor Protests Spread: 5,000 Slovenian Farmers Stand Against EU Green Agenda
By PETER CADDLE 27 Mar 2023
5,000 farmers are said to have taken part in a tractor rally in Slovenia in order to protest green agenda rules implemented by both national and EU officials in the country.
Thousands of farmers across Slovenia reportedly took to the country’s streets in their tractors on Friday in order to protest various green agenda rules in place in the country.
The demo is reminiscent of similar events that are now regularly taking place in other EU countries, with farmers in Germany, Flanders and the Netherlands all having taken part in similar rallies protesting EU green rules.
According to a report by Euractiv, around 5,000 farmers are said to have taken part in the protest, which has largely been in response to recent ruling restricting the use of pesticides in certain areas over water pollution fears.
The EU isn’t giving up on their anti-farmer insanity. As WUWT reported a few days ago, to date the EU bureaucratic response to widespread protests appears to be to ignore the complaints, and double down on dictating to elected representatives which fertiliser and pesticide policy goals they need to achieve.
