| Message | The present amendments do not in the least touch the requirements of the times. Local governments know better than anyone the needs for farm sizes in their area of ​​responsibility. Axia Patrida seems to be forgetting the good old days of homesteads, when rural small ownership was a midsummer night's dream. We also have reservations about Article 1. The market cannot regulate subsidies, but ecological and social needs. Fotis Kotzamanis, President of Enosi Kentrou, MP for Thalassa |
