Not a single hit for Ukraine
The EU lets in goods, especially food, from Ukraine unregulated ('we must help them!') and Germany, and no one else in the EU, can do the same. It destroys the market > hence the farmers protesting.

- schroeding 3y agoThis is not true for Germany. The farmer protests in Germany were started by the government announcing that they want to increase taxes / drop tax brakes on diesel fuel ("Agrardiesel") and remove subsidies. You're thinking about Poland, AFAIK.
- nforgerit 3y agoHm no never heard that as part of the farmers protests. They say it's rather the amount of bureaucracy that skyrocketed in the past decades and the recent (rather naively) cut farmer subsidies made them protest.

- mmarq 3y agoFarmers are heavily subsidised everywhere in the EU, half of them won’t have a sustainable business without tax discounts and transfers from the EU or the government. They have nothing to complain about and, yes, we should help Ukraine is every way we can.
