Farmers protest again in Brussels as EU fails to listen to them | Video

Brussels (Belgium), Mar 26 (EFE/EPA).- (Camera: Olivier Matthys) Hundreds of farmers demonstrated again in Brussels on Tuesday to protest against the situation in the sector and denounce that the measures adopted to date by the European Union are not sufficient and that some do not even respond to their requests.

Coinciding with a meeting of European agriculture ministers, the demonstrators and the hundreds of tractors that arrived in Brussels, some 250 according to police sources, gathered in the streets surrounding the EU institutions, as the police set up a security perimeter.

Some tractors approached the line where the police were stationed, placed manure and hay on the ground and threw eggs and firecrackers.

The police ended up using tear gas to keep the farmers under control.

Other mass protests by farmers took place in Brussels on 1 February and 26 February.
