European farmers in revolt against insane policies and high prices. Then inflation

2 July 20222 years ago babelfish

The farmers of half of Europe are in revolt, and rightly so: squeezed between the explosion in the prices of raw materials and insanely bureaucratic and repressive regulations.

Let's start this time from Spain where farmers have blocked the A4 motorway to protest against the ever increasing prices of fuels that put their products out of the market: on the Spanish and European markets there are more and more Moroccan products that are not crushed by the obligations related to fertilizers and pesticides affecting European farmers.

So the situation is heating up in Spain too, while it is already warming up in the Netherlands, as we all know, and here we are now at the limit

here the protest is growing and the farmers, very well organized, are threatening to block everything. highways, railways, airports, paralyzing the country, and they can do it. Moreover, it is in danger to the survival of their own companies, which are asked to cancel the turnover by 30%, significantly reducing agricultural production.

Precisely here lies the absurd policy of Europe: today we complain that inflation in the Euro Area is 8.6%, of which 8.9% is linked to the increase in the price of food, drinks and tobacco . What does the European Commission do? It introduces a series of limitations that will strongly reduce agricultural production, sending prices even higher. So the current crisis and the poverty and hunger that we will see are intentional, indeed they are created ad hoc. Only a radical change in European policies, or their cancellation, can lead to an improvement in inflation. All the rest are just illusions.
