Large farmers’ demonstrations and mega protests in half of Europe do not surprise the Lower Austrian Farmers’ Association. Because he wants to know why Austrian farmers hardly make a fuss, unlike their colleagues in Germany or France. “Although we are not an island of the blessed here,” State Vice President Stephan Pernkopf is particularly critical of the EU.
Lower Austria is the breadbasket of the republic. In view of the protests in other EU countries and in neighboring Germany, the local farmers’ association is now speaking out. “If you want to shut down agricultural production in Europe, you have to produce more and import more elsewhere. “That is not only stupid, but also hypocritical,” says State President Stephan Pernkopf, who sharply criticizes the EU’s “anti-agricultural and environmental” agricultural policy.
