Brussels Backstabs Farmers: Agricultural Funds Set To Be Diluted

According to a leaked budget proposal, the Commission decided to ignore the demands of 20 member states and over 6,000 farmers’ organizations asking for an independent CAP.

More than 3,000 farmers’ groups and 20 member states opposed the planned budget reforms, forcing the Commission to seek alternative ways to cut agricultural subsidies by about 20%.

Farmers’ organizations and right-wing parties in the EU parliament have been protesting this budget merger for months, but the Commission refuses to listen.
