Czech farmers join regional protest actions against EU policies

Farmers’ organisations from Czechia have joined up with counterparts from other Central and Eastern European states in calling for protests against the EU’s agrarian policies. The Agrarian Chamber of the Czech Republic announced this in a statement released on Tuesday, adding that mass demonstrations are planned for Thursday next week.

Farmers have recently been protesting in many European states against the EU’s Green Deal for Europe, which aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. Farmers have also highlighted rising costs and what they consider unfair foreign competition.
