"Europe in Turmoil: Farmers' Protests Shake the Continent"
TL;DR Summary
Dozens of Italian farmers with tractors have gathered on the edge of Rome to demand lower fuel taxes, better prices for their products, and an easing of EU environmental regulations. The farmers plan a major demonstration, with around 1,500 to 2,000 tractors expected to converge on Rome by Friday. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni attributed the farmers' anger to the "environmental transition" and highlighted increased EU agricultural aid to Italy following a renegotiation.
