"European Farmers' Protests: Unions Call for End to Blockades"
Farmers across Europe are protesting low prices for produce, rising costs, and constraints imposed by the European Union's climate change policies. Belgian and Dutch farmers blocked border crossings, Polish farmers threatened to close the Ukraine border, and Greek farmers demanded tax exemptions and faster compensation for flood-related losses. French farmers received government pledges and started dismantling roadblocks, while Spanish and Portuguese farmers also staged protests. The protests highlight the frustration of farmers and their demands for fair treatment and support from their governments.
