In Spain, farmers have joined widespread protests seen across Europe, voicing their discontent with European Union farming regulations and market competition from non-EU countries. The podcast also touches on New Zealand's White Hange Day commemorations, marred by protests against the government's proposed review of the Treaty of White Hange, which some see as a threat to indigenous rights.
