EU Summit Focuses on Farmers Protests in Brussels
The European Union summit will address the protests by farmers taking place in Brussels. Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo highlighted this point before the talks, noting that the issues raised by farmers warrant careful discussion at the highest level of EU leadership. The statement comes as part of ongoing coverage from RIA News.
De Croo remarked that farmers are actively voicing their concerns while adapting to new EU rules tied to the green agenda and structural reforms. He added that farmers have already adjusted to the updated standards and continue to work under demanding conditions to meet evolving regulatory expectations.
The Belgian leader stressed that European farmers deliver high quality products that must remain affordable for consumers. He also called for keeping administrative burdens on farmers within reasonable limits to support their operations and livelihoods.
Meanwhile, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban joined a farmers rally in Brussels and commented on what he described as a democracy deficit within the European Union. His remarks come amid broader debates about governance and policy direction within the bloc.
Earlier in Hungary, discussions circulated about the EU potentially shifting toward a more expansive liberal policy framework. These conversations reflect a wider sentiment about the balance between market rules and political oversight across member states.
