Tractor protest: Macron and Attal's France has a plan, Lollobrigida only criticizes the EU

The France of Macron and Attal has a precise plan of interventions in the face of the tractor revolt that is spreading across half of Europe, but Italy is stuttering and still doesn't know exactly what to do

What a difference between Italy e France also on agricultural policy and in the face of the tractor protest. Meeting a representation of the struggling farmers in Verona, the minister Francesco Lollobrigida he was only able to say that "some EU choices on agriculture are wrong" because Brussels' environmental policy is too rigid. The plan presented by the new French Prime Minister is of a completely different nature, Gabriel Attal, and supported by the President Emmanuel Macron. France's objective - Attal clarified speaking to the National Assembly - is to guarantee fair competition, above all to ensure that the rules applied to farmers French are also respected by foreign products". So there will be very strict controls on foreign food products, the payment of European subsidies by March and severe fines for food retailers who do not comply with a law aimed at guaranteeing a fair share of revenues for local farmers. Finally, Attal informed Parliament that, around France, a coalition of 22 countries has formed that intends to continue to exempt farmers from EU environmental restrictions on land to be left uncultivated and that there is a good chance that the request will be accepted. from Brussels. This is leadership, but Lollobrigida's Italy is on another planet: down from the tower.
