KKE: The EU-Mercosur Agreement serves monopolies, not farmers or food security

In a comment on the EU–Mercosur agreement, the Press Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) states the following:

“The approval of the ‘free trade’ agreement between the EU and the Mercosur countries by the New Democracy government constitutes yet another hostile act against small and struggling farmers, livestock breeders, beekeepers, and fishers—at a time when they are waging a heroic struggle at the roadblocks for their very survival.

 

The European Communist Action stands by the side of the struggling farmers in Europe

In a statement the European Communist Action expresses solidarity to the struggle of farmers across Europe:

"The mass farmers’ protests that are taking place in many European countries, such as Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Greece, prove that the policies followed by the EU and the anti-popular governments, such as the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and the “green” transition, have caused acute problems of economic survival for farmers and stockbreeders.
