and no longer wants to be a tool, because for many years it was forced to turn a blind eye to western pressure on georgia. back in 2012. when i was a future member of the parliament of georgia, this pressure already existed and it was rising more and more every year. apparently, the drawers in government has already decided that it is necessary to get rid of this somehow to abandon that. because georgia cannot become such a blind instruments in the hands of the united states. and the most important thing is that we have information that this money is being used incorrectly. if the us has good intentions and any person with good intentions should prefer transparency, it could be seen what good deeds one is doing in the states, right? the country doesn't want to be open and transparent, welded is hiding something. right? this is simple logic. very simple and clear. on the other hand, it seems that for the west, this is one might say,

the last attempt to put pressure on georgia because after the 2024 elections, this will be impossible. i am absolutely sure of this. this is the last chance. this is the way to make a change of power through a cool. we know that about 20000 people in georgia are funded by these foreign sources. these are people who benefits with the help of non governmental organizations. the rest of the georgia in population does not support this, and everyone will see exactly how many people are opposed to this. and how many people want this lot to work in georgia and for transparency to be there for everyone. and that brings us to the end of this news block, but just a reminder to stay right in the loop today. keep across our social channels, give it a follow wherever you see a green and black t. goodbye the

hello. i'm manila chan you are tuned into modus operandi all across europe, tractors are blocking major roadways in major cities across the continent. the farmer's protest has grown over the last 2 years, and today we'll dig into what's causing such discontent among those who provide food for the world will go straight to the heart of the european union in belgium to find out what's really going on. all right, let's get into the m o the they are being the far right. in some cases being called nationalists. but we're not talking about a new political party here, but rather farmers, while the vast majority of people in the west simply go to the grocery store to

purchase their food. little spot is given to the source of where that food comes from, even less to the people who grow that food or raise the live stock that end up on our plates every day. and perhaps that's why they're fuming mad farmers leaving their crops behind and taking the capital cities in their respective countries. the netherlands, germany, france, spain, poland, even taking their tractors in the brussels belgium, the home of the european council to make their voices heard. so what exactly are they so mount about joining us to explain or is elijah maga, he is a veteran war correspondent and political analysts. now based in brussels, you can see more of his work at e. j magnate dot com and follow him on twitter at e j mall arrive. that's m a l r a. i thank you so much for being with us, elijah,

thank you so much for having me. so the presidency is currently held by belgium, where you live. recently, there was a massive demonstration by farmers and their supporters, which saw roughly a 1000 tractors, blocking that whole area around the european council building. and they sprayed police with liquid men. newer they unleashed bales of hay all over the street. i mean, the, the scene was really chaotic. can you tell us what that was all about? in the yes, so the 27 european nation has agree on a specific green, the environment policy that was not compatible with the demand of the fall. so although they have weaken some of these re policy as to fit with the farming emission of its 2040 climate road, the u. m is still struggling with meeting the family's health way. so what it's all

about, it just fall is off of the testing because at the they have a little farm incomes because it is the pharmacy are at 50 siding, the so that is forwarded by the e. u. a euro cried in brussels. and because they don't re, with the foreign policy that they have adopting every direction. i gotcha. so they demand often because they have supermarkets, photos of fruits and vegetables at the price match low. well, then the look, the production and all that comes inevitably in the 1st place from ukraine because the european union wants to help you frame and wants to end to ease the setting of its product. so it is creating a domestic process in all the nation. so from farmers of producing food

that doesn't make that exhibit because the free trade agreement is causing them a can petition that they know up to the process of below the. busy and the comment agriculture policy that to defend them from using subsidizes is not compatible with the product that they all buy from ukraine. and they have such as i this with different of the, you know, so that is one of the actually, the 2nd aspect is the you is introducing kind of the rock i see for the farmers that they need to spend almost between 5 to 7 hours a day on sitting up documents and papers every single day, and that takes up almost a 3rd of the time when to set the time is invested in the fall,

so they don't have any time to rest. so they again say you have to reduce the, the rocker, see that you're asking us. and then to the 2nd most important, bought either the stop the import from ukraine and you find them, they've done that, the market for it. if you want to support you great or you, we allow it to raise the price, but raising the price is becoming really ridiculous. we go to market, we used to pay a salad for a few cents for that. we pay for 3 years, 10 aquinos finished at reach the us when it was around 3 to 4 years. so all these practice of closing not only reactions to reactions from the owners, but also the population is on the badge of exclusion because of the policy of the you one day, so much money to invest on foreign policy in particular, supporting ukraine and this ridiculous war but not investing any more toward the

european population. so there's some level of under cutting and that's causing inflation of prices. then you get another sacrifice for a you farmers in the name of ukraine. now let's not forget a or slum under land has invited ukraine to join the you. well, the old will between the west and lead by the united states against ukraine is resulting and destructive of the your bank a. com. and i would explain. first of all, the americans are very happy with the outcome because they saying that all duction in say, is boomy. so there is a part of the american industry that is making a lot of money. secondly, because of the americans have decided that we should own in the west,

in those sanctions on russia. then we find those say, buying the or the guys treat times or full times more expensive then the price with that you, we used to pay to russia. so what we found out at the end of the day is the americans offering facilities to all the european industry to come to america with 5 years without paying taxes and where the energy is a cheap inc, deposing to what they pay through they you're so we have again the migration of the european industry to america because of this war. so what we have gain, we have gain inflection. we have gain the valuation of the euro. we have gain. bit is that we cannot afford to pay, i mean, electricity, when the electricity has been for an individual,

goes from 80 years spend money that is more or less $90.00 to $370.00. and that's without counting how much restaurants up a and talking about thousands of years, nobody can afford these prices. but because you're using more orientation to was foreign policy, which is not the reason why the european leaders have been lifted, they never did. according to that domestic agenda, but not to that for the policy was they can dry the entire country to missouri. well, europeans today are looking for and finding job and investing either the names. yeah. because there is no more uh, opportunities to invest your everything is very expensive. the taxes are increasing and you pay everything. they are a nice ending up on everything that is related to income. and there is no increase

of income to compensate the cost. that's right, because inevitably you raise the income, you raise the prices. so if the price of the transport is full times hire someone needs to pay. and the one who's paying is the end user, which is the us, the people who are living on the european continent and paying the price of $2.00 of wrong european policy, one at the beginning of the war. several europeans either said this is not our war . and we will not be engaged, that was why decision. and then we find a sense or default in the war to the point that we have presidents and the french president amendment my whole say that i would need at the end of the day to send some folks to and some people and sizes to ukraine to continue the war because you can just do a very bad. so the data is that guns so out of their way and completely

disconnected from what's happening in europe, to the point that they think they can be part of this war. that is not our role to increase the negative consequences on new european population. yeah, very scary escalation indeed. so the dutch farmers protest that was the 1st one that began in europe that sparked off in 2019, that movement has since spread across the continent over the past year. first, can you begin by explaining to us what sparked that initial pro test and what the situation of that protest looks like today in 2024 over in the netherlands. yes, i remember when in october 2009 over 2000 tractors at close the 5 way and that's how you then a 1000 kilometers. i know that because i was stuck in by sun you study in the netherlands, so that was

a long time to wait. and they even says the way on the no see beaches. there is no just on that. if you want to escape and find a way for the city, so the problem and then that, that then comes rebates from the got. so the government at one today drastic measures to reduce the mission of nitrogen. this is exactly the same as you also in france and in brussels in the bedroom. but the french have found another way to spend down a bit to base and performing this plan. but so the for the in another then they and the government consider buying for the largest share. it's nitrogen that was it on that's then comes from a boot. gotcha. so these measures that are taken by the government are supporting as the climate change and the support of the track. however,

from all the officers century, the government's policy was encouraging all the time. the farm is to expand, to buy more land, to have more items and the debt to borrow more money into with us. it's still it, these bank facilities for farm is to have access to those. like nobody has been. they discovered that a good that you was responsible for 80 percent of the emission of wonderful nitrogen felicia. and because the farming and the diary comp it to just one percent of the d g d p. then the government said was, it is good if we come back on the production and that will not really affect the cost of the that so the farm as well as expensive that business they found themselves step. of course,

there is an issue that the nitrogen in the sphere is harmless because we've read $78.00 point something of nitrogen and at $21.00 on something of oxygen. where that the reaction comes with other names. and because the name is like ammonia and that's on the right side that we farm we, we find in the uh, set the sizes, then this combination it'd be, it'd be coming to the wary for the government to try and reduce. so for, for the last of 85 years at the farm is as being stocking their, uh, uh, their iron moons and the production and indulging the properties and the gods as a happy again. at the same time scandal is so bad. i need the feud

and the emission of maxim bates that creates much for pollution. however, getting a good start the lines is that the ukranian are using and now your feelings are not allowed to use. but effect why the, the production of the vegetables is something that the pharmacy again, often begins. so the same if we cannot have enough food for the most to eat the gross and we need to keep them in. then they is a production of whole then $13.00 to $90.00. percent of the sites are good. the government is saying, okay, what i can buy the land that you don't want because you have bought a new expended. and i can give you bought the land full. i can't buy all of your but then this is not the solution because as and again, the farm, as i said. so what do we do? this is the only business we have nothing to do. and this is this pain that we be

doing. the doings in decades from generation to generation and we haven't done another job or to do some other business. so this is the, the bank that continue on going between the farm is and the government's way to farms are saying, well, we don't want you to buy our lands because we don't know how to invest the money. and there is no guarantee today for any investment, because of the devaluation of the euro. because the and stability in the market, the increase of the price of the go, the increase of the price of the be going. and the increase of the price of the at on what, why, but then it is just waiting. it's never stay but so where do they go? they don't know that this, this is the name of that. all right? coming up next. what happens when those who are traditionally outside of the game

of politics decide they want a seat at the table? that's exactly what happened in the netherlands. we're going to discuss it when we return with elijah maga, is to type them all will be right back. the, to take a fresh look around this life kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by tell us to do vision with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse really once a better wills, and is it just as a chosen for you. fractured images presented as 1st can you see through their illusion going underground can the

walking back to them? oh, i'm vanilla chan. traditionally in the world of politics we see a certain type who enters that field, right? they usually come from high society, attend a late universities and mix and mingle amongst themselves, sometimes referred to as the ruling class, but in the netherlands, dodge farmers have ditched the fields and are now disrupting business as usual in parliament by creating their own political party. a political analyst and veteran war correspondence, elijah maga, is back with us to discuss the turning of the tides of a new politics. so elijah, in the last couple of years, dutch farmers began their own political party called the b, b. b. in english. it translates to a farmer, citizens movement. so in 2023,

the b, b, b, one, several seats in the parliament disrupting the plans for the pm mark, route, as cabinet who would no longer have the majority. by the summer of 2023. the entire dutch cabinet collapsed. do you think we will soon see other countries in the follow the dutch lead and launch their own parties and, and how might this disrupt business as usual, politics and the you? what do we have? so the european parliament, the election, we have 710 year. ready being members of the. ready being arguments law sitting in europe and deciding what to do and what role they can forward to the leaders of the 27 european nations. and we see a movement in different countries. and you, people are all imagine. we've seen that in the u. k. with your data weights winning the election and driving the hard establishment of the battle because it's

something completely thinkable. and that we see also a breach in the, as in different your apartments, members in different european countries. when there is a change, today's the should of the tradition, not only because the new people are all set because people have got, uh they did just, i didn't have enough of the, the usual peaceful, dominate the establishment. and the concrete in order to be your and so we don't need to have always the same people. he said that the conservative or the neighbor policy, the right thing, or the left wing, the social there's all the green at the end of the day. time to be more the fastest and the right we walk these. so there is a need for change. and this need to change is not very happy,

very fast and very quickly because any change and each time is exactly like the what a gym is today. we stood up the americans as well as germany. however, most countries around the world agree that is true. because of the way the americans are read, what does the stand it and the pharmacy particularly do with the oil and gas and the war and you pray and the compassion of the stand of the what between both rules . so all that is giving you all the full supports for the european people to think about the necessity to introduce changes and remove fetus if you're to. for example, today at the, the shipping from us, you'll have a leader and then when i'm at home with 23 percent of voters will voted for. so he is runing over less than a quarter of the population where people voted for him because they didn't want to

try the far right. we mounting the bank, which is after a year in the office 2 years, it's no longer the case if there were elections today. mounting the bank, we wouldn't, tomorrow, by 70 to 80 percent will than any other candidate. because people have enough of the old faces and, and for pocky they don't want to try something new. i don't think the changes are going to take your dramatically everywhere. but the all the to be increased there is going to be an increase of changes as the way you are. because there is a new narrative that is coming in, which is the benefit of the population, the interest of the population. and gary, the size of looking up the, the interest of the people, but not the interest of another country. we cannot in your function with leaders

law, say america 1st even the new or allow the americans to same act, the 1st in america. but not a your, europe, you should go back to europe. but again, these designs, if we lose designs, this is a big problem. and because we are using our basses, the new faces that imagine in different part of it, but they need time to form a logical industry. now say in the world of politics, i've seen much of the main stream media refer to them the b, b, b as an extreme and right wing populist right. even white nationalist over their concerns of migration. same for the se in germany. is this a fair or accurate description of these parties? and does this even speak to the rising populism across europe? that's a very good question. so we see today, across your population,

especially those on i do not get the right. so they have been winning law shares, the votes in recent pages. elections. so for example, if it 8 the right wing populace, brother, excuse me, at secure the, i used those, giving one single box e, the support of jo jim and only at a who became a prime minutes. so in sweden, for example, the sweden democrats imagine is the 2nd most popular property in the country and the reset the election. so they, there's some performance is the result of a steady growth in the last, i think 5 or 6 fundamental elections and where they have the vote since 2014. again as you rock you said in spain, the shell, the roads going to properly spot these? they have been double between 20152092021. at the

the rising is gone from 20 to 30 percent to 25 percent. 80 hungry, for example, it was at the store or ben reelected edit. that is where the rug between populous gain and the election and in the last election in the so button has been polish in 2010. so that gives him a solid place in the society where people wants him to continue imply again the ruling that below or and just as far as the full time increase, the go to share between the 200120192020 so in these countries and we see the rise population in, in measure, for example, in for us also the same. imagine we've seen all the fall in the far right. the

flemish poppy is one around more or less 12 percent of the bedrooms up in 2019 but then that's we also work at the office of badging at the increase a so say when not, not doing as good as a far right. so going from 9 to 10 percent, but it's, it's not doing very bad. but in slows, that's the biggest surprise when people did not want the bed. and then suddenly they discovered that day she is the one est, is standing face to face with m. m. and when my home last connection and then not one because people didn't want to read it to try marine defense, but now they are very keen to allow her to become the new president if faced continue, or isaac this today. however, we've seen in other countries with populace at all, no, really like germany and in greece. in these countries, we've seen

a decrease all the, the support for popular is it. so we can see the growth of all do yes. properties, right? the because there is a need of try some people and try get some people who are speaking to the people, the speaking to the population. talking that language, addressing the concerns, always going to abide by what they say during the election or before the election. once they are elected, if, if we take the example of georgia, me know me. she did not go to the same agenda. she was advertising for any before the next year. when she became prime minister, she changed the policy in particular to address that in the ukraine. and so it's, we need to wait, but there is a strong appetite amount of the european population to see new faces and to change

people under any type of representative sense. all right, unfortunately i gotta make that the last word, elijah, thank you so much for that. and an inside and be sure to follow elijah on twitter at e j mall. right. and check out his work at elijah maga, dot com. thank you so much, elijah, it is mike big at any time. all right, that is going to do it for today's episode. or modus operandi the show that they've deep into foreign policy and current affairs. i'm your host manila chance. thank you so much for tuning in. we'll see you again next time to figure out the m o the the

i'm action or can see welcome back to going undergrad, broadcasting all around the world from you a. i had them in november's election so called mainstream corporate propaganda me during the united states will center analysis on personality and identity instead of clause. it wasn't always so once it was the working classes and organized labor that terrified us. it leads and threatened that controlled. but as new liberal inequality is risen over the decades, the worker is back last year as well. over half a 1000000 work is across industries, from automotive to aviation, to entertainment, using the picket lines in nearly 400 strikes in the us.
