[HIGHLIGHTS] Italian farmers protest at the Pope – there is also a cow there

Italian farmers protest at the Pope – there is also a cow there. As a thank you for the support, the Pope was given a tractor from the farmers.

The Pope greeted the demonstrators before beginning the Angelus prayer: “I greet the farmers and breeders present in the square,” Sky TG24 reports. The cow, which was also there as a symbol of the protests, belongs to Cristian Belonni, the owner of a grain production company. It is intended to represent the plight of farmers. She is the offspring of Ercolina, who was already a symbol in the 1990s against EU milk quotas.
