Agricultural Unrest in the EU: The Great Rift, the Green Transition, and the OPEKEPE Scandal 💡
Europe is burning, but not on the battlefields. From the streets of France and Germany to Poland and Greece, tractors are filling the roads, revealing a structural rift between the agrarian base and the Brussels governance model. We analyze how rising production costs, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), and the European Green Deal are leading the primary sector toward economic suffocation, as resources are shifted from food security to military expenditures.
📉 Anatomy of a Survival Crisis
Economic Suffocation: The energy crisis and fertilizer prices have sent costs skyrocketing, while large retail chains compress producer prices. The farmer is becoming the "loser of globalization."
Green Transition or Social Burden? The European Green Deal is perceived by the countryside as a technocratic agenda imposing restrictions without economic compensation, deepening the gap between urban and rural areas.
Geopolitical Competition: The liberalization of imports from Ukraine and the Mercosur agreement create conditions of unfair competition, with European producers being sacrificed on the altar of the EU's geopolitical strategy.
🇬🇷 The Greek Particularity: OPEKEPE and Government Accountability
The OPEKEPE Scandal: In Greece, the crisis takes on explosive dimensions due to chronic pathologies in the management of subsidies. Fictitious declarations, distorted allocation, and payment delays are undermining the productive fabric.
Political Rage: The state's failure to sanitize the system transforms economic pressure into political rage against a leadership that appears incapable of protecting genuine producers.
🎯 Conclusion: Europe’s Strategic Imbalance
The EU chooses to define "security" narrowly as military deterrence, funding armament programs instead of food autonomy and social cohesion. This agricultural unrest is the outcry of a Europe that invests in shielding its borders while allowing its societies to erode from within.
