What you may not know is that farmers in Germany are experiencing an unprecedented crisis. Their lives are disrupted by decision-making, their interests are curtailed, and their voices are ignored. They had run out of patience and decided to express their displeasure with actions. They drove thousands of tractors, set off from all over the country, and headed for the capital Berlin, they wanted to "collect debts" from **, and they wanted to make ** pay for what they did.
What kind of a** is this?What kind of crisis is this?What kind of trouble is this?Let's take a look.
Why do farmers want to **?
The ** of the German peasantry, in fact, has been going on for a long time. Back in November 2019, around 10,000 farmers drove 5,000 tractors to Berlin to rally for the new agricultural policy. They argue that these policies have a detrimental effect on agriculture, restricting their freedom to produce, increasing their costs, lowering their incomes, and threatening their survival.
* The agricultural policy mainly includes the following aspects:
In response to climate change, it is planned to gradually reduce subsidies for agricultural diesel between 2023 and 2030, while increasing road taxes for agricultural vehicles. This means that farmers' transportation costs will increase dramatically, while their profits will decrease significantly.
In order to protect the environment, the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides within 20 meters of water sources is planned to be banned from 2024. This means that farmers will have significantly less arable land and their yields will be significantly reduced.
In order to improve animal welfare, the ** plan is to stipulate that pig farms must provide at least 1. per pig from 20255 square meters of activity space, and at the same time, it is forbidden to castrate and break the tail of pigs. This means that the cost of farming for farmers will increase significantly, and their competitiveness will be significantly reduced.
These policies have undoubtedly put tremendous pressure on German farmers. They feel that they have not taken into account their actual situation, have not provided them with sufficient support, have not respected their contributions, and have not protected their rights and interests. They feel that they are exchanging their sacrifices for benefits in other fields. They feel that they are being used as "scapegoats".
How big is the peasant's **?
The German peasantry's ** has developed into a national movement. As of December 18, more than 80,000 farmers across the country had taken part in the campaign, driving nearly 20,000 tractors from various states to Berlin, according to the German Farmers' Association. Along the way, they held high slogans and shouted slogans to express their demands. Their goal is to turn Berlin into a "sea of green" on December 19.
The peasant's ** has already attracted widespread attention in German society. Many citizens expressed sympathy and support for the plight of the peasants, believing that the peasants were the "backbone" of Germany, that they had made great contributions to the German economy and society, and that they deserved the best respect and help. Many ** have reported and commented on the ** of the peasants, and they believe that the ** of the peasants is a "wake-up call" for the **, * should listen carefully to the voices of the peasants, improve the lives of the peasants, and balance the development of agriculture.
The peasants' ** has also attracted great attention from Germany. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz delivered a televised speech on December 18, in which he said he understood the grievances and concerns of farmers, and he promised to engage in dialogue with farmers to find solutions and improve policies to protect their interests. He also called on the peasants to remain calm and rational, avoid excessive and violent actions, and maintain social order and security.
What will be the consequences of the peasant's **?
The ** of the German peasants undoubtedly had a huge impact on German politics and society. It's a challenge, and it's a challengeA test for society. What will be the consequences of this **?
For farmers, this event may be an opportunity or a risk. If they can express their demands to ** through reasonable and peaceful means, and win their understanding and support, then they may be able to improve their lives, protect their interests, and maintain their dignity. However, if they act excessively and violently, intensifying the antagonism between ** and society, then they risk losing their credibility, incurring their opposition and exacerbating their predicament.
