Spanish Farmers' Tractor Protest: A Fight for Survival

Spanish Farmers Protest EU Policies: Tractors Take to Madrid Streets Farmers across Spain are staging widespread protests against European Union agricultural policies, demanding changes to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The demonstrations, which have seen tractors clogging city streets and large groups of farmers rallying, are focused on securing a CAP without cuts and an end to production limits. The protests are particularly intense in Madrid, where a large demonstration is planned to culminate in front of the EU headquarters. One farmer, participating in the Madrid protest, stated, "We are fighting for our livelihoods. These limits are destroying our farms and our future." Another participant added, "We need a CAP that supports farmers, not one that restricts us." The video footage clearly shows the scale of the protests, with numerous tractors moving through city streets and crowds of farmers holding signs and banners. The demonstrations highlight the significant concerns of Spanish farmers about the impact of EU policies on their industry. The protests are expected to continue, with farmers determined to make their voices heard and secure a more favorable agricultural policy.
