These farmers, in their strategy of having their claims, in line with those of their European colleagues, shake political institutions, are in contact with producers from neighboring and adjacent communities, such as La Rioja and Aragón.

The organizers took a manifesto with their demands to the Department of Rural Development today, Monday morning. Among them, it stands out that Navarrese producers demand the recovery of the tax system of modules (called objective estimation in Personal Income Tax and simplified VAT regime). They claim that they are the worst fiscally treated in the country.
THE 17 POINTS OF THE MANIFEST OF THE AGRARIAN PROTEST IN NAVARRA
1. Reduce the demands of the new Community Agrarian Policy (PAC). imposed agro-environmental because it drastically reduces our production and, in some cases, is impossible to carry out.

3. Repeal of the 2030 agenda.
4. That it is not mandatory to leave 4% of the surface fallow.
5. Digital books, out. The EU requires producers to keep a digital notebook where they must record work, treatments, animal handling, etc.
6. Manure management. Eliminate the rule that will allow us to have the manure piled up for more than 5 days, and spread on the farm for 2 days.
7. Commitment not to reduce the tax reduction on agricultural diesel. Even implementation of some improvement, due to the high prices we have.
8. Repeal of the animal welfare law.

16. To the Government of Navarra, withdraw the complaints that arise in the mobilizations.
17. Recovery of the module system, since the farmers and ranchers of Navarra are the worst treated fiscally in the entire country.
