Tractors in L'Aquila in view of Prime Minister Meloni's visit
A new mobilization of farmers and breeders has taken place since late morning today in L'Aquila due to the visit of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for the signing with the Region, at the Park Auditorium, of the agreement for the quantification and use of the Funds of development and cohesion (FSC), of the 2021-2027 programming.
With tractors, signs and tricolor flags, the demonstrators gathered in the car park in front of the Piazza d'Armi market in a point clearly visible from Viale Corrado IV, the city's entrance artery.
The protesters, primarily the young breeders Ilenia Mora and Marina Crescenzi, asked for the possibility that a small delegation (maximum four people) be authorized to reach the prime minister to give her the reasons for the protest.
Among the requests to the government, the reduction of excise duties on fuels for agricultural use;
the need to draw up a common agenda of the measures to be adopted with institutional representatives;
the need to avoid the introduction of Irpef on agricultural land as well as the obligation to insure agricultural vehicles used solely on private properties or companies.
Active policies are also requested for the containment of wildlife that damages agricultural production, as well as the sharing of choices regarding protected areas.
Furthermore, farmers and breeders reiterate the need for concessions for the protection of the most disadvantaged areas, as well as that of renegotiating the CAP to adapt it to the needs of companies and guarantee secure payments.
