AgriMin Tanczos strongly condemning turning legitimate right to peaceful protest into acts of violence

The interim Minister of Agriculture, Tanczos Barna, condemned the violent turn of a farmers' protest in Victoriei Square, asserting it was hijacked by individuals not representing farmers' interests. He acknowledged the legitimacy of farmers' grievances and emphasized ongoing dialogue with sheep breeders. The protest, initiated by shepherds, escalated into violence as protesters clashed with police. Key demands from the sheep breeders include halting sheep culling, resuming exports, and fair management of livestock regulations. They seek urgent government action on these issues, with a deadline set for September 16, 2026.
