Alex Borg Joins Farmer Protest

Young Nationalist MP Alex Borg joined the farmers yesterday for the protest against EU directives which they argue are impacting their livelihoods negatively.

Posting to social media, the MP shared a photo of himself in a tractor, writing: ‘Aħna hawn’ (we’re here), tagging Għaqda Bdiewa Attivi – the organisers of the protest.Farmers mobilised their tractors against EU directives yesterday, driving through Maltese streets.

Organized by the Għaqda Bdiewa Attivi and supported by various other food production-related organizations, the protest aims to build upon the achievements of their initial demonstration held two weeks ago.

Marked as the first organized protest by farmers in a generation, the previous event was part of a larger movement across Europe, where EU farmers voiced their concerns about stringent European regulations and trade agreements that disadvantage them against cheaper foreign produce flooding EU markets.
