Bouquets and Rubalcaba demand to the Government that do not ignore to agriculturalists and graziers

The general secretaries of the Union of Small Agriculturalists and Graziers, Lorenzo Bouquets, and of the PSOE, Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba, kept the past 13 February a meeting to analyse the situation of the model of application of the bottoms of the PAC for Spain in which they demanded to the Govern “dialogue with the agricultural organisations like protagonists of this key process for the future of the field and of the half rural of our country”.

During the meeting, to which also assisted the spokesman of the Socialist Parliamentary Group, Soraya Rodríguez, the socialist spokesman in matter of Agriculture of the Congress of Deputies, Alejandro Alonso, and the secretary of Ordination of the Territory and Sustainability of the PSOE, Hugo Morán, UPA transmitted his worry by the loss of weight of the PAC in the community budgets and by “how is wasting the opportunity to give a true legitimacy to the one who really works the field, that are the agriculturalists and graziers”.

Both leaders coincided in that in this PAC “prevail more the territorial and sectorial interests that the reality of the Spanish field and the agricultural exploitations and graziers”. To refuse this situation, the agricultural organisation has summoned a concentration next Tuesday 21 January in Madrid. In this sense, Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba reiterated the position of the socialists considering the agriculture and the livestock strategic sectors of the productive system Spanish because they fix population and constitute a reservation of indispensable raw materials for the alimentary hygiene of the country, by what is indispensable a PAC juster and more solidaria.
