Romanian Agriculture Minister Backs Farmers' Demands, Condemns Protest Violence

Interim Agriculture Minister Tanczos Barna (UDMR) publicly supports farmers' demands as 'absolutely justified' while condemning Tuesday's protest violence as hijacked by vandals. He notes he previously met with farmers at a peaceful protest, but the latest demonstration turned violent. This signals a potential policy shift or increased government responsiveness to agricultural sector grievances, though the extent of concessions remains unclear.
