“The pig sector has been in financial decline for some time now due to the African swine fever and the corona situation,” says Paul Cerpentier of the Algemeen Boerensyndicate (ABS). “Releasing the government to guide our sector through this situation. She can, but it clearly lacks the political will.”
Next Wednesday the pig farmers will travel to Brussels with tractors. They want to gather at the Flemish Parliament at 9.30 am. “We demand from the Flemish government to take further actions. We want our liquidity problems to be met with supportive support, more than the cocktail nuts we’ve been getting so far. And we want help in reforming the Flemish pig sector into a high-performance sector, future-oriented and sustainable”, future-oriented and sustainable.
The police fear serious traffic disruption in the capital and are calling on everyone who should not be there by car to stay away.
