Over February 6 and 7, 2024, a wave of protests by European farmers is intensifying across the continent. Italian farmers have escalated their actions by setting up a blockade at Milan airport and blocking several highways. Despite some concessions, protests have persisted in countries including the Netherlands, Spain, and Bulgaria. In Bulgaria, farmers are burning hay to protest the government's 'total failure' in agricultural policies. Spanish farmers, having blocked supermarket distribution centres and the Castellon port, continue their demonstrations despite the EU's promised concessions. Polish farmers are preparing to join with a mass blockade, and the Polish government has begun holding talks in response. Farmers are coordinating through WhatsApp and Telegram, circumventing traditional unions, to demand better compensation and protest against the EU's agricultural policies. Spanish farmers are mobilizing towards Barcelona, with nearly 2,000 participants, while Italy braces for what could be its largest farmer protest in Rome. Vox leader Santiago Abascal has criticized the Spanish government for pushing the EU's green agenda. In Spain, police have removed protesters blocking the main entrance to the Castellon port.
