There's a recent debacle happening in Denmark... The EU wanted to forbid certain pesticides that harm bees. Only two countries voted against: Ukraine and Denmark (shameful). Then, as the EU has deemed the pesticide illegal, the Danish government have provided farmers with a workaround to keep using it anyway... Our current right wing government is totally in the pockets of the farmers. It's like the US gov and the gun lobby.
