Hungary has taken a bold stand against biotech giant Monsanto and genetic modification by destroying 1000 acres of maize found to have been grown with genetically modified seeds, according to Hungary deputy state secretary of the Ministry of Rural Development Lajos Bognar.
Unlike many European Union countries, Hungary is a nation where genetically modified (GM) seeds are banned. In a similar stance against GM ingredients, Peru has also passed a 10 year ban on GM foods.
Unlike several EU members, GMO seeds are banned in Hungary. The checks will continue despite the fact that seek traders are obliged to make sure that their products are GMO free, Bognar said.
During the invesigation, controllers have found Pioneer Monsanto products among the seeds planted.
The free movement of goods within the EU means that authorities will not investigate how the seeds arrived in Hungary, but they will check where the goods can be found, Bognar said. Regional public radio reported that the two biggest international seed producing companies are affected in the matter and GMO seeds could have been sown on up to the thousands of hectares in the country. Most of the local farmers have complained since they just discovered they were using GMO seeds.
With season already under way, it is too late to sow new seeds, so this year’s harvest has been lost.
And to make things even worse for the farmers, the company that distributed the seeds in Baranya county is under liquidation. Therefore, if any compensation is paid by the international seed producers, the money will be paid primarily to that company’s creditors, rather than the farmers.
GMO = Garbage Made to Order…and Phil Angill (PR mouthpiece for Monsanto) and all of the CEOs middle management and stockholders in Monsanto should be forced to eat their bio-tweaked crap and three-eyed frankenfish three times a day until the day each of them dies and we’ll see what they turn into first. Monsanto….we…solemnly…hate….your…guts.
I hope that Hungary knows exactly who they are dealing with. Satanic origins must be rooted out and destroyed.
Hungary deputy state secretary of the Ministry of Rural Development Lajos Bognar. I fear that Hungary and especially Mr Bognar do not realize what they are dealing with when they ban or destroy Monsanto seeds . Monsanto has to be one of the more evil entities that have their origins in the USA . The US has become the stench to beat all stenches in terms of evilness and immorality . A country that is run and manipulated by the Israeli’s and their home grown sect members is a country that is doomed to lose its conscience and morals . just as the Israeli’s have !!
