Farmers crowd EU park in Brussels as ministers meet
February 26, 2024
Farmers set fire to tires and blocked roads in a protest in Brussels on Monday.
More than 100 tractors were parked around the headquarters of European Union institutions as Agriculture ministers met to discuss the sector.
Protesters are demanding EU action on cheap supermarket produce, low-cost imports and environmental rules that farmers say put too much pressure on the agricultural sector.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
