The farmers' protests against the policies of the traffic light government are on everyone's lips this week.
The mood is very heated, as was demonstrated by the incidents in Schlüttsiel, when Economics
Minister Habeck was prevented from leaving the ferry by angry farmers on his
return from vacation and was unable to go ashore.
There is a clear sense that the farmers have reached their pain threshold.
In this context, the recently adopted and in some cases already reversed
cutbacks are just the last straw that broke the camel's back.
In addition to the documentary "Bauernopfer", which was broadcast on Monday, the film "Nitrogen 2000" is also
extremely valuable for understanding the increasingly existentially threatening situation of farmers.
Even though it shows the situation of Dutch farmers and their struggle for
survival, it allows conclusions to be drawn about the situation of German farmers.
After all, they are affected by the same EU regulations and their lives are also
made difficult by the ever-increasing number of political regulations.
We recommend watching this film in order to be able
to empathize with the plight of the farmers.
After all, as our suppliers, especially of food, they form an essential pillar of our society, whose independence must be preserved and protected at all costs.
