Spanish farmers fruit and burn EU flag as a protest.

They consider unfair "alms" that have been assigned to compensate the Russian veto their products by the political conflict.

In the Spanish city of Lleida fifty farmers have burned boxes of peaches, nectarines and Paraguayans outside the headquarters of the Prefectures and have thrown into the fire a flag of the European Community.

Thus farmers express their outrage at Brussels decisions were met by the embargo by Russia.

The president of the Farmers Association of Valencia, Cristóbal Aguado, It has stated that industry representatives are unhappy with the amount of aid allocated by Brussels.

"We in no way agree with the decision taken by the EU, because the 50% fruits and vegetables leaving Spain are precisely our land, Valencia. They are going to punish our farmers and, although the EU has said it will give aid (125 million euros, plus 32 for nectarines and peaches), We see this as a handout, something that is not important and does not compensate in any way the losses that farmers will suffer ", said Aguado.

"Farmers are finalizing meetings with the highest Spanish authorities, who they are also receiving messages for the Community authorities. In addition, do not rule out the mobilization of all agricultural organizations and other social sectors to protest against these measures the EU, without its citizens, He has taken against Russia and that have led Russia to veto certain products that we can do tremendous harm us economically ", said the president of the Valencian agricultural association.

"We want to continue to keep our sales to Russia, keep these channels marketing and selling fruit and vegetables, as, this wonderful relationship we have with consumers and commercial networks of Russia ", he added.

Also, the president of the Farmers Association of Valencia did not rule out the wave of discontent among farmers in Spain could increase.

"If, over time revealed that European aid is more testimonial than real, They do not outweigh the damage that we will generate and, from, then, if we see that markets are unbalanced, necessarily go protesting farmers more sites, raising the tone and clearly saying that our authorities have erred and have started a contentious issue that we do not believe it appropriate, nor desirable and, of course, that only makes harm the interests for now and for the future ", concluded.
