Thousands Protest in Cardiff Over Farm Subsidy Overhaul

Farmers and agricultural workers gather at the Welsh Parliament to voice concerns against proposed changes to farm subsidies.

Thousands of farmers, vets, and agricultural workers are protesting in Cardiff against the Welsh government's proposed changes to farm subsidies.
The Welsh government has announced a review of the subsidy plans, which include requirements for tree planting and wildlife habitat creation on farms.
Farmers are concerned about the impact of the new subsidy scheme on their livelihoods, citing potential job losses and a reduction in livestock numbers.
The protest has caused traffic disruptions in Cardiff, with police advising against bringing tractors to ensure safety and minimize public disruption.
The Welsh government emphasizes the importance of the subsidy changes for environmental targets but is open to consultation and review.
