The Slovak authorities have thrown their weight behind the protest of their farmers against EU policies and the overwhelming dominance of Ukrainian agricultural exports Today, farmers descended upon Bratislava, blocking the streets in front of the parliament with their tractors. Hundreds of farmers rallied in Bratislava, with protests simultaneously occurring across the country. The turnout is expected to reach at least four thousand participants, marking the largest agricultural protest since the republic’s inception. In a surprising turn of events for European nations grappling with farmer unrest, Slovak farmers found an ally in the country’s Minister of Agriculture, Richard Takács. He voiced support for local agricultural producers, who are pushing back against what he described as “nonsense from the EU and the European Commission.“ Following the victory of a Eurosceptic party in the elections, Bratislava has reevaluated its stance on Brussels and assistance to Kiev, completely withdrawing support. Additionally, Slovakia recently voiced opposition to the duty-free import of agricultural exports from Ukraine into the EU. [club152044818|@Slavyangrad] | Inna Источник: Slavyangrad
