Question for written answer E-001574/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Christine Schneider (PPE)
On 24 March 2025, the Animal Rebellion group held a protest involving placards and pyrotechnics at CSU politician Günther Felßner’s farm. Animal Rebellion uses civil disobedience to draw attention to animal suffering and the link between livestock farming and climate change. Some witnesses of the protest even spoke of an incursion onto the farm. Günther Felßner feared for his own safety and the safety of his family and, as a result, decided he no longer wanted to become a federal minister.
- 1.How much co-funding from EU taxpayers’ money does the protest group receive?
- 2.Is there any way to prevent EU funding going to Animal Rebellion – either in the future or with retroactive effect?
