Questions regarding the number of sheep and goats in Greece
The discrepancy in official data regarding the number of sheep and goats in our country is causing significant concern. The main opposition party, SYRIZA, has raised the issue publicly, requesting clarifications from the competent state authorities.
According to the data presented, there is a discrepancy of 7 million animals between the two official state sources. This difference is considered particularly significant, as this data is essential for the proper planning of agricultural policy and the distribution of European subsidies.
the opposition argues that the lack of accurate data creates problems for the livestock sector, which is a key pillar of the Greek economy. Representatives of SYRIZA are demanding an immediate audit to determine which of the two sources presents the true picture of production.
The issue is expected to occupy parliament in the coming period, as the accuracy of statistical data is critical for transparency. Farmers and livestock breeders are monitoring developments, awaiting a clear answer from the Ministry of Rural Development.
