"The enlightened gentlemen of Europe are always coming up with new things," thundered Socorro Cuevas, 63, a longtime farmer who is the far-right Vox party's agriculture councillor in the central municipality of Socuellamos. "A farmer cannot dedicate himself to agriculture," he told AFP as tractors rumbled past and dogs snoozed on the ground at a party supporter's farm.
