Farmers' Protests Against Subsidy Issues in Cyprus and the EU
December 16, 2025
About 10,000 farmers from across Europe are set to protest in Brussels against cuts to the Common Agricultural Policy. Similar actions are taking place in Cyprus, where farmers are gathering with tractors in Nicosia. Cypriot farmers face difficulties in receiving land subsidies for state and Turkish Cypriot land. They are calling for legal changes to allow for legal sub-leases of land. The situation is leading to significant financial problems for farmers, with protests intensifying.
