Under the motto “Enough said,” Dutch farmers are protesting in various places in the country today, on Wednesday. Hundreds of colleagues from Germany also visited the neighboring country.
German farmers support their Dutch counterparts and leave early in the morning for a neighboring country. German farmers want to show solidarity.
Protesting farmers are concentrated in various government buildings in the Netherlands. Demonstrators and tractors gather at Cjib and Rijkswaterstaat in Leeuwarden. In Groningen, the tax office and the court are the target.
Before protests on Wednesday, agricultural interest groups spoke again with Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Agriculture Minister Carola Schouten.
On Tuesday evening, farmers with hundreds of tractors drove to the Binnenhof in The Hague, the center of Dutch politics. The police stopped them at the forecourt. Farmer demonstrations on Tuesday night were not announced in advance. Farmers at the Binnenhof said the idea of a demonstration arose suddenly.
One of the largest farmer protests took place on February 5, 1979 in the United States, where 6,000 farmers arrived by tractor in Washington, protesting against the country's agricultural policy.
The initiators of the movement "Earth creates a connection - Germany" calls for the so-called flash mobs on Wednesday afternoon in various busy places. In addition to farmers, they invite agricultural service providers, truck drivers, and anyone who “feels ignored by current policies” to participate in the campaign.
It is planned that at 16:30 the collection points on the streets will be clearly defined so that road users who consider it necessary can join them. At about 5 p.m. each participant must leave his post and return home in the usual way.
