About the arson of the Ministry of Rural Development and Food
EU agricultural subsidies as a tool of capitalist restructuring.
Like every ministry, the Ministry of Rural Development is a mechanism of class domination. Class domination for Greek capitalism in the sector of primary production practically means:
-Privatization of the largest and most fertile part of the agricultural land – and securing through it enormous profits – by a tiny minority of modern landowners closely linked to domestic and international agribusiness monopolies. It is indicative that today 90% of all agricultural land belongs to just 15% of wealthy rich large farmers.
