Landowners linked the incident to government plans to reduce nitrogen emissions.
Farmers in the Netherlands blocked roads with dirt and garbage this morning, July 27, in protest. This was reported by the TV and radio company NOS.
The A1, A12, A28, A30, A35 and A50 motorways were damaged by dirt, straw, rubbish and fires lit by protesters. Consequently, the farmers’ actions led to traffic jams. Some roads are completely closed.
In addition, farmers blocked supermarkets and distribution centers.
Also, there was an accident on the A32 highway due to the blockade. The car drove into a haystack down the ramp onto the highway. As far as is known, no one was hurt, police said. Rijkswaterstaat, which cleared the roads, saved the car.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality believes that the action goes too far: “Protests are only allowed within the framework of the law. This is not the case. It is also not a way to develop together. “
Mediator Johan Remkes sent an official letter to farmers and conservation organizations inviting them to speak to the cabinet in August. He wants to talk not only about the much-criticized plans for nitrogen, but also about “the challenges for nature, nitrogen, climate, water and the future of Dutch agriculture,” according to a statement. from the Ministry of Agriculture, Environment and Food. .
According to the Agractie farmer initiative group, the negotiations should be on what it sees as nitrogen targets to be achieved with the support and legalization of PAS detectors.
“We will further consider whether this dialogue on these issues makes sense,” the organization said.
Recall that as a result of enemy shelling in the Nikolaev region, eight fires broke out, where more than 230 hectares of barley and wheat, utility buildings and vehicles were burned.
It was learned that the Russians evacuated the farmers of the Luhansk region and took about 70 thousand tons of new crop grain.
