For months, Europe has been rocked by protests as farmers decry high costs and low prices, in addition to what they call unfair competition from Ukraine, and the constraints of environmental regulations. EU elites are worried that the farmers' movement will boost anti-establishment parties in the European elections this June. The EU Commission has put forward proposals to ease the burden on farmers, but environmental groups say this is a short-term political tactic that undermines elements of the EU's own Green Deal – and will ultimately lead to more climate chaos for everybody, including farmers. We unpick this with the EU's Agriculture Commissioner, Janusz Wojciechowski.

Sadly, he missed the point to
recognize that unemployment in the country, is not responsible for the atrocities and violent crimes of herdsmen against farmers and innocent Nigerians.
Those who armed the herdsmen with weapons of war, and continued to support them knew exactly what they are doing.
But the farmers have the right to protect their farmlands from intruders.
There is no correlation between herdsmen and unemployment in Nigeria. This is because, herdsmen are working, that’s their occupation and their spoke persons are all in the umbrella MACBAN. So Dangote, don’t tell us about unemployment is causing the problem between herdsmen and farmers.
The government intention is create more jobs through agriculture, and the president’s kinsmen are sabotaging the effort and the worst is he is silent, how can he achieve his objective?
Dont mind these fulani people they all have there brains in there anus.What unemployment is he talking about instead of adressing and calling them terrorists like they are you are here talking about people that has been doing the normadic business they are used to.
We will review and take appropriate action.
