Protest in Paleencia.
Representatives of the Professional Agrarian Organizations have asked this Sunday in Palencia that Pedro Sanchez put order in the Ministry of Consumption following its owner performed some statements regarding the quality of the meat.
Members of Asaja, Coag and Upa, have received with whistles the president of the national executive who has participated in the act of the presentation of the candidacy of the PSOE to the presidency of the Junta de Castilla y León in an act in the pediment of Santa Marina in the capital of Palencia.
Thus, the president Asaja Palencia, Honorato Meneses, has pointed out that a minister who criticizes the products of Spain “he does not deserve to represent the Spanish” nor to the ranchers and farmers because his latest statements have been “the straw that broke the camel’s back.”
“These statements have many repercussions and in many parts of Europe the Spanish meat that complies with all health guarantees, and the work of the ranchers “he added.
For his part, the secretary of UPA Palencia, Blas Donis, has stated that with the concentration they want to vindicate “the dignity of the country’s agricultural and livestock sector” who have been attacked “with a reality that does not exist”. “We have the best sustainable meat production, the farmers take very good care of the animals and neither second nor poor quality meat is sold.”
In this sense, he has asked the Prime Minister to “put order” within the Ministry of Consumption and the resignation of the minister, Alberto Garzón.
Up to the capital of Palencia, platforms have also been moved once morest the macro pig farms in the province of Palencia. Specifically, the spokesperson for Valdavia Viva, Pablo García, has accused the agrarian unions of not knowing what they are doing, since the macro-farms “They pollute, affect the rural environment and depopulate it.”
Likewise, García, who was Provincial Secretary of COAG in Palencia between 2003 and 2015, has affirmed his intention to leave the union which he directed for 12 years.
