THE Swiss Farmers Union (USP) he also wants to be heard “the indignation of the peasantry”, assured today in a statement, where he points out that he “shares the claims” of farmers in other European countries.

“The substantive problems” faced by farms in neighboring countries “are not unknown in Switzerland,” said this organization, which represents the interests of farmers in the alpine country, stressing that “after Germany, the agricultural sector’s protests they have already arrived in France.”

USP also states “the low level of farmers’ incomes”, a “great economic pressure”, “new demands with only partial compensation for extra costs” and “a lack of appreciation” for the profession.

So the farm union is not surprised that a “small drop of water like the repeal of the farm fuel tax cut” was enough to “break the glass,” the press release notes.

“Switzerland’s rural families understand very well the indignation of their European colleagues and share their demands,” USP concludes.
