Pissed-off farmers sealed off streets outside the hated EU headquarters in protest at the bloc’s agriculture policies.

Belgian farmers sprayed shit at police, threw projectiles, and set the hay on fire as hundreds of tractors took to the streets of Brussels ahead of a meeting of unelected EU agriculture bureaucrats.   

Dozens of tractors broke barricades and blocked streets close to the EU headquarters. They are protesting excessive administrative barriers, increased environmental measures, and a flood of duty-free imports from Ukraine.  

‘Let us make a living from our profession,’ read one billboard on a tractor blocking a main road littered with potatoes, eggs, manure, and straw.  The demonstration coincided with a meeting of European agriculture ministers, who arrived in Brussels to discuss responses to the crisis in the agricultural sector.  

Farmers sprayed large doses of animal shit at police, who responded by using water cannon and tear gas. One video showed a tractor spraying cattle shite as police blasted it with a water cannon. Other footage showed protesters launching projectiles at officers.   

Tensions flared as anti-regime campaigners moved on to the central Rue de la Loi, where tractors unloaded beetroots and wooden pallets in front of a police blockade, bombarding officers with straw, eggs, manure, and fireworks. Two officers were injured in clashes with protesters, the Brussels Times reported.  

Farmers across many nations in Europe have been protesting for several months in response to strict EU policies and environmental regulations, including cuts in subsidies. They argue that Brussels’ inept plans will potentially put them out of business.   

Demonstrators are calling for changes to restrictions imposed by the bloc’s so-called Green Deal, and for a halt to cheap agricultural imports from outside the bloc, primarily Ukraine, which have flooded EU markets.  

With protests taking place from Finland to Greece, Poland, and Ireland, farmers have already won some concessions, including a loosening of controls on farms and a weakening of pesticide and environmental rules.  

QUOTE OF QUOTES: ‘You control our world. You’ve poisoned the air we breathe, contaminated the water we drink, and copyrighted the food we eat. We fight in your wars, die for your causes, and sacrifice our freedoms to protect you.

You’ve liquidated our savings, destroyed our middle class, and used our tax dollars to bail out your unending greed. We are slaves to your corporations, zombies to your airwaves, servants to your decadence. You’ve stolen our elections, assassinated our leaders, and abolished our basic rights as human beings. You own our property, shipped away our jobs, and shredded our unions. You’ve profited off of disaster, destabilized our currencies, and raised our cost of living.

You’ve monopolized our freedom, stripped away our education, and have almost extinguished our flame. We are hit, we are bleeding, but we ain’t got time to bleed. We will bring the giants to their knees and you will witness our revolution!’
