Yeah! Right wing because their basis of existence is being taken away for short sighted policies…
Man if only they knew about being right wing…
We’re talking about a group of people making self-proclaimed record profits last year, complaining about getting less government money.
And don’t forget 50% of their income are subsidies. But when they are asked to please not poison ground water with nitrate due to excessive use of fertilizers, that’s a red flag
Record profits due to inflation and one good year don’t change the fact that most EU agricultural products are produced for almost the same price as they are sold for, the profit is very small.
One good year? ONE?

Ah yes! Of course!
