Spain's Trade Unions Say Will Join Farmers' Protests Taking Place Across EU

 Three major agricultural trade unions in Spain will join the farmers' protests taking place in many European countries due to the crisis in the industry, the Spanish Young Farmers’ Association (ASAJA) said on Tuesday.

"The major professional agricultural unions, the ASAJA, the COAG [Coordinator of Farmers and Livestock Breeders] and the UPA [Union of Small Farmers and Cattle Ranchers], agreed this morning to resume scheduled manifestations to demand an ambitious emergency plan that includes measures at both the EU level and the level of the government of Spain and the autonomous communities. At first, the protests will be taking place at a regional level over the next several weeks," the statement read.
