Farmers on the uprising: Schmiedlechner warns of the end of many farms!

Purkersdorfer Straße 38, 3100 Sankt Pölten, Österreich - On Monday, March 3, 2025, an important press conference with the freedom farmer, Lower Austria Obmann Peter Schmiedlechner and the agricultural expert Dr. Arthur Kroismayr. Under the motto "The farmer first! Time for the red and white red reversal in agricultural policy", the FPÖ-Niederösterreisterösterreich State office in Sankt Pölten is discussed on the current challenges and necessary changes in agriculture. The participants are excited about the suggestions and ideas that could contribute to improving the situation of domestic farmers, as is the case in a message from APA-OTS.

A central topic that Peter Schmiedlechner addressed in an interview with krone.tv are the oppressive requirements and guidelines that strongly burden the farmers. Schmiedlechner was concerned that more and more companies have to close and that the economic situation of the farmers is becoming increasingly precarious. Despite the blockage of the current government, he sees an urgent need for fundamental reforms in politics, but vehemently criticizes the previous measures and the role of the ÖVP, which has been providing the Minister of Agriculture for 40 years. "This is a meaningless paper," he emphasizes to the latest coalition agreements and emphasizes that the problems of farmers are not solved, but it simply continues as before. The farmers often no longer know how to pay their bills, which indicates an alarming development.

Schmiedlechner warns that the increasingly complex regulations and the pressure from above endanger the livelihood basis of many companies. In the lived reality of farmers, he sees a clear gap between political rhetoric and actual challenges. "The People's Party revealed the voters," he says, putting in the room that dissatisfaction will clearly come to light in the next elections. The upcoming talks at the press conference could become a guide for a red and white red reversal in agricultural policy in order to finally come back to matching solutions.
