Green Party political efforts to spin Germany’s ongoing farmers’ demonstrations as solely caused by profiteering supermarkets have been dismissed as a cheap diversionary tactic.
On a fourth consecutive day of protests, the Green leadership responded to the farmers by blaming the greed of the country’s major supermarket chains rather than the government’s Net Zero-related policies. Green MEP Anna Cavazzini cited “market power” as causing the low prices open to German farmers. This follows crudely engineered media smears tying the demonstrations to the ‘far right.’
