Farmers Protest Against Welsh Government’s Agricultural Reforms

In Wales, approximately 3,000 farmers and supporters gathered in Carmarthen, expressing significant concern over the Welsh government’s proposed agricultural reforms. The reforms, aimed at promoting sustainable practices, have sparked fears among the farming community about increased paperwork and unworkable requirements. A symbolic mock coffin reading “In memory of Welsh farming” was paraded, symbolizing the perceived threat to the industry. The protest underscores the deepening divide between farmers and policymakers, with calls for direct negotiations and reconsideration of the proposed changes.
