Ministrul interimar al Agriculturii: „Protestul fermierilor a fost deturnat şi transformat în acte de vandalism”

The interim Minister of Agriculture, Tanczos Barna, stated that the recent farmers' protest was hijacked and turned into acts of vandalism by individuals not representing farmers' interests. He acknowledged the legitimacy of many farmers' demands and emphasized his openness to dialogue. Barna condemned the violence during the protest and praised the 14 representative associations of sheep breeders for distancing themselves from such actions. He highlighted ongoing discussions to address farmers' issues and mentioned a plan submitted to the European Commission to unblock sheep and goat exports. The minister urged farmers to reject any political manipulation of their legitimate claims.
