Tractors flood Brussels to show the fury of the countryside during the EU leaders' summit. The protest against the “incoherence of European policies” is concentrated in front of the European Parliament headquarters.
“We demand the paralysis of laws. We can't take it anymore, every day a new norm is approved," explains José María Castilla, representative in Brussels of Asaja, the Spanish agricultural employers' association. The demonstration, for which thousands of farmers from various countries are expected, takes place on the same day that the heads of State and Government of the Twenty-seven also meet in Brussels.
