The tragic situation of the European farmers is a by-product of the EU elites’ obsession with their ‘Net-zero’ fantasies, leading them to impose a whole host of crippling, failed agricultural policies, making farming in Europe difficult and expensive.

Of course, these same heartless elites are more than happy to turn around and negotiate a free-trade agreement with South American countries that have great, much cheaper agricultural produce since in Mercosur there is no equivalent ‘green’ legislation.

So now European farmers are on a war footing.

Bousquet-Chassagne, plum and cereal farmer:

‘We’re drowning under a sea of norms that make no sense and that are supposed to make us produce better. But in my view soon we won’t produce better, we won’t produce anything at all!’ he said.

He praised the UK for leaving the EU. ‘The British are our faithful allies and we admire your decision to leave the European Union, which is partly to blame for our woes’.

Watch: French farmers actively block roads.
