The Secretary-General of CAP, Luís Mira, harshly criticized the performance of the Portuguese Government regarding the problems affecting the agricultural sector. In statements cited in the article, Mira stated that "the government doesn't know how to do math," denouncing the absence of concrete measures to support farmers.
The main complaint from the CAP leader concerns the lack of responses from the executive to the rise in fuel prices, which has significantly impacted production costs in agriculture. This problem worsens the financial situation of farmers, who already face numerous difficulties in carrying out their activities.
Furthermore, Luís Mira also pointed to the insufficiency of government support in catastrophe situations affecting the agricultural sector. This criticism comes in a context where farmers face multiple economic and environmental pressures.
CAP, as an organization representing Portuguese farmers, has been warning about the need for more appropriate policies for the sector. Mira's statements reflect the growing discontent of the agricultural community towards the government's implemented policies.
