EU caves in to farmers: VICTORY for tractor protesters as Von der Leyen says Brussels will cut hated red tape 'burdens' that have pushed up prices following days of blockades across Europe
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Von der Leyen said a proposal 'to work on reducing these administrative burdens' would be presented at an upcoming meeting of EU ministers
    A stall, not a cave. Keep protesting, guys.
  • Announcement follow days of protesting by farmers who are angry over excessive costs, climate policies and EU bureaucracy

  • Outside, furious farmers threw manure and flaming missiles at riot cops, as shops in Belgium admitted they may soon have empty shelves due to the protests

  • Convoys with hundreds of angry agricultural workers driving heavy-duty tractors blockaded the HQ, hell-bent on having their complaints heard by the bloc's leaders
