Thousands of farmers shut down highways in a go-slow protest converging on the Dutch capital Monday, as they protested being victimised by a government trying to meet European Union emissions laws by cracking down on agriculture.
The day of protest is the thirds of its kind and follows another at the start of October. At the time, Dutch media reported the protests were against a call by the government that herds of animals reared for food should be culled so the nation could meet its European Union-imposed nitrogen emission targets.
The Dutch police and army, on the instructions of the centrist-globalist prime minister Mark Rutte, attempted to shut down the main roads leading into the capital Wednesday, but using the off-road capabilities afforded by driving a tractor, the protestors simply drove around the blockades, Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reports. Rutte called on farmers to “keep the peace” and follow the instructions of police.

Pull the trucks with horses.
Several thousand diesel engines just gave the middle finger to the Gov.
Somebody better get re-greta-bull on the hot line. STAT! HOW DARE THEY!
“Dutch media reported the protests were against a call by the government that herds of animals reared for food should be culled so the nation could meet its European Union-imposed nitrogen emission targets.”
Maybe the government employees should be ousted from their cushy jobs and go out and try to earn a living the old fashion way...by hard work. Oh, I’m sorry. Was that a microaggression?
Had to put that in because some folks, well, you know.
Bwahaha
She reminds me so much of the Hogg boy.
OK, that’s funny right there.
They ought to have tractor pulls with the green politicians in the middle.
It appears that Rutte is following in the footsteps of Stalin by attempting to starve his own people. The masses are much easier to control when they are weak from hunger.
If ever there was a face needing slapped . . .
I thought food came from grocery stores.../s
There is a rebellious undercurrent there, as in most EU minion states.
Geert Wilder has a following. Good ol’ Dutch guys are sick and tired of their muzzie insurgency and violence. Good ol’ Dutch gals are hoping their guys will grow a pair and end the bs.
Maybe their farmers will be the catalyst...
Even though I agree with “Green deals” being BS——You’re pissing off people trying to get to work or wherever. Drive your tractors to the Capital building and park there in protest.
She's just the useful idiot du juor.
