The tractor protest in Sardinia extends to the shepherds who took to the streets five years ago with sensational protests to ask for a more adequate price for milk . And he could level up at this point.
It was February 2019, we were in the middle of the election campaign and everyone remembers the "milk war", those farmers who threw liters and liters of milk on the ground and blocked the main Sardinian roads .
Now, five years later, the Sardinian farmers who were protagonists of that mobilization will meet together with the farmers in a public meeting to be held on March 9th at 10.30 in Tramatza , near the 131. Symbolic place of the 2019 mobilization.
Among the topics on the agenda, the discussion on the eco-schemes of the 2023/2027 CAP, i.e. the measures aimed at protecting the climate, the environment and animal welfare, and the situation of sheep, goats and cattle due to the expected strong reductions compared to the planned amounts. We will also talk about trade relations, production standards, unfair competition between EU and non-EU countries. And even labels, which must be clear for farmers and shepherds, with the obligation of the country of origin also for the cereal sector.
We will also talk about wind power and speculation on renewable energy in Sardinia, and the principle of insularity included in the Constitution and which has remained, at least for now, only on paper .
