Brescia Protests Resurface Over BSE Crisis and Agricultural Concerns

The more or less crazy cow and everything that has happened concerning the BSE emergency have created the conditions for a series of renewed protests.

In some cases, these were already tested initiatives. In others, at least in the province of Brescia, this was not the case.

The event involving trucks driving through Brescia had already been proposed a year ago. Equally well known is the Cobas tent, set up days after the news of cow “103” testing positive was circulated.

Reactions and demonstrations in the province of Brescia

In Pontevico, there was a rekindling of the atmosphere reminiscent of Ciliverghe and Calcinato, where tractors had been lined up side by side for months.

It is precisely in Pontevico that protests may take place again in the coming days, once the Lazio TAR’s decision has been announced.

Awareness initiatives and recent demonstrations

But during these recent gloomy days for Italian agriculture and beef production, there have also been some «savory» awareness initiatives.

For example, the “bisteccata” that took place yesterday inside the Centro Fiera of Montichiari.
