For the past13 days Spanish farmers have blocked major roads, city centres and ports, dumping imports of cheap Moroccan vegetables and cereals on the roads and marching alongside slow moving stractors tractors into the centers of large cities.
Protesting farmers took over the port city of Santander last the weekend, bringing commercial activity to a stanstill. Today (Wednesday 21 February, farmers went ahead with planned tractor protests in Andalusia, Extremadura, and Castilla and León, with television and radio traffic news bulletins warning of major delays additional road closures in these regions.
There are no signs the protests are coming to an end, either.
The Union of Small Farmers and Ranchers has a schedule for tractor demonstrations stretching all the way to Feb. 27 in Córdoba. Meanwhile, the Union of Farmers and Livestock Unions has announced its next demonstration to be in Madrid later this week, with several demonstrations planned in the run-up to this.
Last Wednesday Spanish protesters paralyzed traffic for hours at the port of Motril in southern Spain, where a large part of Morocco’s fruit and vegetable shipments arrive. Several of the vans stuck inside had their holds opened and tomatoes found inside were thrown onto the road in protest at cheap imports of agricultural products from Morocco, which do not meet the stringent EU standards Spanish farmers are compelled to uphold.Meanwhile, scores tractors and human chains have blocked the many of busiest highways in Spain, and have also made crossing the Spanish-French border at La Jonquera difficult for the past two days.
In Guadalajara province, neighboring Madrid, protesters dumped grain on the road, while in Salamanca and other cities, cheaply imported products bought in hypermarket chains were spread in the car pars of those stores, according to Hungarian news outlet Magyar Nemzet.
Apart from calling for easing of EU regulations, particularly those relating to the insane 'net zero' policy, and less complicated bureaucracy surrounding EU agricultural businesses, Spanish farmers are demanding that the socialist (i.e. humanity hating,) government helps them to cope with the impact on production and incomes of last year's prolonged drought, and to ensure greater respect for Spanish agricultural products through fair prices, less red tape, and a level playing field, among other things.
The biggest farmers’ protest, planned for Madrid towards the end of the month is expected to cause major disruptions in the city and there are fears that confrontations between protestors and police could become violent. Farmers also announced on Thursday morning of last week that they would mobilize on Feb. 26, the day EU agriculture ministers meet in Brussels.
Spain's far left Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has so far announced that the law on the food supply chain will be strengthened to ban loss-making sales and promote the sector’s needs; however, line their counterparts on Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Ital and Poland, Spain's farmers are skeptical of his such pledges and promises and plan to keep up the pressure.
