“fair prices”
So farmers are still angry after yesterday’s day of action. They want fair fair prices for their products. Bart Vanneste, farmer: They don’t want to bend, they don’t want to renegotiate, they want to wait until next year. That’s too long. We can’t survive that. They push on the sponge until no more water comes out, so yeah, you can’t keep pushing on a sponge can you.”
Danny Metsu, ABS Ypres: “It is up to them to react. We have the time, they have the money. We will continue like this for as long as it is necessary. We are here with about fifty tractors, the intention is that there will be an amortization system comes to last longer.”
But around 4 pm the action was stopped, without result. If no agreement is reached by Monday afternoon, new actions will follow.
