Farmers revolt in Brussels
Citizen Watch Report ^

Posted on 02/02/2024 8:29:23 AM PST by davikkm

Brussels saw a chaotic farmer’s protest on Thursday as demonstrators clashed with police, throwing stones and objects in front of the European Parliament. The protest coincided with the Ukraine financing summit, where EU leaders were meeting to discuss financial aid for Ukraine.

Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo acknowledged the farmers’ concerns and said “We need to be able to discuss in the (European) Council on this topic, because the concerns that they have are partly legitimate. The climate transition is a key priority for our societies. We need to make sure that our farmers can be a partner in this.”

I insist that this moron only eat food not created by farmers, or by extension ranchers, fishers or corporations.

Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo acknowledged the farmers’ concerns and said “...the concerns that [the farmers] have are PARTLY LEGITIMATE. The climate transition is a key priority for our societies. We need to make sure that our farmers can be a partner in this.”

"Partners" as in "Every third farmer take two steps forward. You are hereby relieved of your land...for the public good, of course."

De Croo, your "society" does NOT agree on your elitist, top-down, out-of-touch, command-and-control "key priority."

I hope they deliver TONS of manure to his house and yard.

Kindly suggest that Mr. Quinn get food items not produced by a farmer or rancher. Or go plant his own crops.

As for a profit motive, suggest Quinn move to his favorite socialist utopia where everything is free. Good luck with that, idiot.
