Lina presented a text with the names Thomas Moschos and E.L.A.S., in which she argued that the justifications given for the non-implementation of vaccinations against zoonoses had been disproven. She mentioned that Romania secured 1 million free doses of the vaccine against smallpox and 300,000 against plague, as part of a program that, as she wrote, was designed in coordination with veterinarians, epidemiologists, and livestock breeders, with the aim of continuing exports. Lina attributed the deaths of 7 people, including one who committed suicide, the slaughter of 700,000 animals, and damages of at least 200 million euros to the agricultural GDP to the management of the Mitsotakis government. She also wrote that the compensation and burial expenses reached at least 400 million euros, while 3,000 families were left without work and displaced from their homes. She added that after 3 years, the restoration of the livestock had still not been possible and accused the government of choosing a policy that destroyed the sector. #εμβόλιο #ζωονόσοι #κλάδος (translated)

"We fully understand that the reality of farmers and producers is difficult, which is why we are trying to find immediate solutions and primarily invest in the resilience and competitiveness of the primary sector as a whole."

KatiApoZebra wrote that feta would reach 19 euros and attributed the increase, as she claimed, to the killing of hundreds of thousands of real animals by people of the "41%". According to her, this was done to prevent the revelation that their own people in OPEKEPE declared thousands of non-existent animals. #φέτα #αγροτικά #τροφή (translated)

Farmer Chris Freeman warned that the reduction in the number of producers could, in his estimation, lead to a food crisis and high prices in the coming years. Citing data from ELSTAT and Eurostat, he mentioned that in Greece, only 7.2% of agricultural farm managers were under 40 years old, while almost 65% were over 55 and 37.1% were over 65. For Europe, he said that the percentage of farmers under 40 was 10.7% and the average age was 57 years. Freeman claimed that 300,000 farms were lost in 15 years and that 75,000 farmers abandoned their work in just the last year. He added that costs for fertilizers, oil, and animal feed had increased by 100%, while the real value of production had decreased by 25.5% in 2023, to the lowest recorded level. He estimated that in the coming years, 200,000 farmers over 65 would need to be replaced, along with another 150,000 aged 55-64, but there would be no young people to take over the farms. He warned that fields might remain uncultivated and that Greece might depend on imports, which he linked to Mercosur and described as triple the price. He called on consumers to prefer products from local producers, even when they cost the same, and asked if there were any young farmers in their villages. #αγροτικήανάπτυξη #διατροφικήκρίση #στηρίξτετονπαραγωγό (translated)

Alexis Tsipras stated that within consecutive days, farmers, fishermen, and transporters had reported that they were struggling to make ends meet, while the list of professionals facing difficulties was growing. He claimed that the government, instead of reducing VAT or subsidizing fuel at the pump, was this year pursuing budget surpluses, possibly to distribute them as "handouts" in April, just before the elections. He added that professionals and households needed support immediately to cope with the difficult winter ahead. #Αγρότες #Οικονομία #Στήριξη (translated)

The author stated that he would support the fishermen until the end and described the situation that, as he wrote, prevailed in the country for the fishermen as unthinkable.
