This Wednesday, October 28, Madrid hosts a large tractor unit of farmers and ranchers convened by ASAJA, COAG and Unión de Uniones. Nearly 500 tractors are scheduled to arrive in the capital from different points in the Community of Madrid, Segovia and Guadalajara to demand urgent measures from the Government in response to the situation that the agricultural sector is going through.
The mobilization will begin first thing in the morning with the departure of five columns of tractors who will gather in Plaza de Colón around 11:00 am. From there, protesters will march to the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Foodwhere they will present their main demands.
Under the motto “Feeding has to give to live”agricultural organizations demand fair prices, a reduction in production costs, less bureaucracy and a Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) with sufficient financing.
