Ciobanul Ionică Sterp îl acuză direct pe Ilie Bolojan pentru haosul din agricultură: „Ne omoară şi ne distruge cu taxe şi cu impozite”

Ionica Sterp, a leader of the shepherds' protest in Bucharest, expressed frustration with the National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority (ANSVSA) over restrictions on livestock exports. He criticized the authorities for preventing farmers from bringing counter-samples for testing and claimed that healthy sheep were unjustly declared sick. The protest, which saw clashes with police, aimed to demand the right to work and produce food sustainably in Romania. Shepherds are particularly upset about the EU's decision to extend the ban on sheep and goat exports until 2026, which they believe undermines their livelihoods. Sterp emphasized their peaceful intentions and the need for government support.
