An investigation by The Guardian has revealed that the European Union allocated €3.3 billion in farming subsidies to companies owned by 17 billionaires between 2018 and 2021. Among the top beneficiaries are former Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš and British entrepreneur Sir James Dyson. This allocation is particularly notable as it coincided with the closure of thousands of small farms across the EU. The findings raise important questions about the transparency and equity of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy, highlighting the need for more stringent oversight to ensure that public funds are distributed fairly. #EUSubsidies #Agriculture #Billionaires #EUPolicy #PublicFunds #Transparency
