Thousands of farmers are expected to drive tractors to The Hague, Netherlands, on Saturday morning to oppose the government’s plan to shut down 3,000 farms. The government made the move to comply with global warming goals despite a heavy vehicle ban the day before.
It can be recalled that the Dutch government is planning to “buy and close down up to 3,000 farms near environmentally sensitive areas to be in compliance with EU environmental rules” of the nitrate emission reduction plan.
Thousands of farmers and the climate activist group Extinction Rebellion will hold a rally in The Hague, Netherlands on Saturday, March 11.
According to Swedish journalist, Peter Imanuelsen, this will be the biggest demonstration yet.
...
Netherlands is planning on forcing 3000 farmers to sell their land to the state. A land grab.
100 000 people are expected to show up.
...
No farmers, no food!
We’re on our way to the protest. For the future of our country
...
According to Peter Imanuelsen, military vehicles are already arriving in the Netherlands in preparation for the farmers’ protest.
...
the mayor of The Hague threatened to use military gear to stop rival climate and farmer protests.
NL Times reported:
Mayor Jan van Zanen of The Hague said he could indeed authorize the use of military equipment to remove blockades or tractors in his city on March 11. On that date, the upcoming Saturday, both climate activists and farmers are set to demonstrate in the Zuid-Holland city.
“I am not going to rule out the possibility that Defense equipment will be deployed. That is available if necessary,” he said in an interview with De Telegraaf. He has also asked police forces elsewhere in the country to provide officers to assist.
“We cannot handle this alone,” Van Zanen told De Telegraaf. “Also to ensure that the demonstrations are safe.”
Farmers’ organization Farmers Defense Force (FDF) hopes to attract 100,000 people for a demonstration in the Zuiderpark in The Hague next Saturday. Climate activists from Extinction Rebellion also plan to block the A12 motorway near The Hague again that day.
And at the same time, construction of tents for the the construction of tents for the City-Pier-City half-marathon race will also be underway. The annual race is scheduled for Sunday starting at the Malieveld.
Van Zanen says he will not consider banning any of the planned demonstrations for the time being. He called on those demonstrating to ensure that they can cherish a “great right.” That forces him to be “radically neutral.”
But there are limits, he said. “Blocking a road indefinitely with people or equipment is not an acceptable way of demonstrating, but a blockade,” he told the newspaper. “I think that’s a disruption of public order.”
Time for Netherlands to get out of the EU.
They believe they won’t suffer and they will have awesome Star Trek lifestyles once they are done. They are insane.
They cannot conceive of the idea that, once they killed off the most lowly of humans that their elites will decide which of the remaining humans, which may inckude the lowest level of the elites, get to survive.
The wussy faggy urban vegans and plant based diet loonies are going primarily after Dutch livestock farmers. This is the rough breakdown. Livestock meaning meat production, eggs production is what they want to put out of business.
Bug farmers should be OK.
Blame the WEF and actual EU laws that the Dutch government claims it must comply with. Mostly EU laws that come down on nitrogen gas emissions that allegedly contribute to global warming.
Meanwhile, China is building coal fired power plants

No farmers, no food.. the left wants the deplorable to starve.
Is there a Western nation that has not turned despotic?
Coming to a farm near you here in the USA
Like the ruck protest of Canada they will crush them with their control of their personal finances and bank accounts. These pri### need to be dragged into the streets
“the mayor of The Hague threatened to use military gear to stop rival climate and farmer protests.”
Our civil war reenactors or a medium to large northern city street gang could probably wipe out the Dutch army.
The world ia run by idiots. Time to reply 1791.
It’s well past time for the EU to disband. It brings no value-add for the people of its member nations.
Enough already. The Dutch citizens need to take back their government and kick the tyrants out on the street. We need to do the same. Protesting will get you nowhere with Communists. As Orly Tatz who used to live in the old Soviet Union said, when you tell a Communist what is wrong, they will look you straight in the eye, and all you get by way of a response is a blank stare, meaning they’re going to do whatever they damn please. Chris Wray is a perfect example of a Communist.
the farmers’ most effective strategy would be for them to all simply stop farming for one season ...
At least the Dutch Farmers know that their BIGGEST THREAT is 50 miles away, in Amsterdam, rather than some huge country 1000 to the East.
It appears this government doesn’t work for the citizens ,all Western countries are turning into dictatorships
