‘Do your costed programmes actually include support measures for the livestock farmers being ruined in Lesvos? That is where your “selective” incompetence over foot-and-mouth disease has reached new heights! You allowed the outbreak to spiral out of control, fuelled irrationality with your anti-vaccination frenzy so that the profits of a handful of major feta producers would not be affected, and after destroying people’s livelihoods and losing all control, you suddenly remembered the army!
