Greenpeace Demands Sales Of Hungarian State-Owned Land Be Halted
- 24 Nov 2015 8:00 AM
The Hungarian government should halt the sales of state-owned plots now underway, an expert of Greenpeace Hungary said. Katalin Rodics said the governmentinitiated programme would harm local farmers as well as the whole country and argued that those plots were not owned by the government but belonged to the whole nation.
She insisted that the new owners winning the plots will use methods of mass production involving harmful chemicals and grow unhealthy products.
Rodics demanded that the land auctions should be stopped and the government should provide assistance to small, family-run farms with ecological technologies.
She said that farmers still have the skills to produce better and more food than through “industrialised chemical farming”. Rodics spoke against a scenery of a coffin inscribed Rural Hungary.
