    Some of these farmers protests are legit, but others are rich landowners complaining that they have to pay 1% more taxes or do more bureaucracy. I’m spanish, “the farmers” also got pissy when the milquetoast socdem government said that there would be slighly more labour inspections. God forbids someone asks them why there are so many undocumented migrants working like slaves.

      This protest is petty-bourgeoise farmers being squeezed by the bourgeoisie via inheritance tax. The tax is likely to cause many of them to sell their farms, which will be bought by much bigger farming corporations.

      The same thing happened here in Alberta, the brief interlude of a centrist government a few years back, made it so farm hands had to be covered by basic safety codes all other workers are allowed and they freaked out and threw a hissy fit. They even got an exemption so their family farm hands would remain exempt from basic safety protections.

      Oh and the starting inspecting the housing offered for the farm hands and told them no you cannot shove 16 workers into a tiny work shed, with threats of deporting then if they talk.
