Belgian farmers are angry at red tape and cheap imports from countries that are not obliged to meet the EU's high standards. According to reports, Brussels police said around 900 farmers came into the city riding on tractors. People reached near the European Union building where the ministers' meeting was taking place. Police used tear gas and water cannon to crush the farmers' movement. In response, farmers sprinkled fertilizer on them.
order to identify opponents
Farmers parked their tractors on the main roads of the city, due to which traffic was disrupted. Some tractors also broke the barricades put up by the police to block their path. In Belgium, Interior Minister Alice Verlinden has directed that protesters who have caused harm to the public or violated authorities' instructions should be identified. He said that the right to protest should be exercised with respect.
Strict rules have increased the difficulties of farmers
Let us tell you that in the beginning of this month also farmers had staged a similar protest which had turned violent. At that time the leaders of the European Union were participating in a conference. The farmers reached there and threw eggs and firecrackers at the police. Farmers say that the government is ignoring us. The leaders who make the rules should work with the farmers one day, then they will know that it is not an easy task. Their rules have increased the difficulties for our work.
Farmer movement is going on in many European countries
Apart from Belgium, farmers have also joined the movement in many European countries. These countries include countries like Germany, Poland, Italy, France, Greece and Spain. Farmers say that the European Union's very strict rules on environmental protection have created problems for them. Belgian farmers are demanding improvements in working conditions and relaxation of strict rules. In early February, farmers also set fire in front of the European Parliament.
