The Means Of Destruction
28 November 2023
The system of agricultural subsidies was taken over by mobsters and blackmailers at our Central European neighbours. How high a price will the Polish farmer have to pay for it?
We have got used to the fact that the agricultural subsidy system in the European Union has been riddled with corruption for many years. It took a New York Times report for the king to be naked.
Over the weekend, the American daily published material showing how agricultural subsidies in several Central European countries are used to build unhealthy systems of dependence and violence.
Journalists do not avoid strong statements – Mafia, nee-feudalism, oligarchy – to describe how political and criminal groups oppress rebellious and smaller farmers. In effect, EU agricultural policy is used to finance blackmailers and arrangements that are the bane of modern democracy.
