Angry German farmers stage country-wide tractor blockade against government

- German farmers are staging a week of nationwide protests by blocking roads with tractors against the government's planned phasing out of agricultural subsidies.
Tractors and trucks gathered on German roads on Monday, including Berlin's main avenue leading to the Brandenburg Gate, causing major disruptions.
A constitutional court ruling on unutilised pandemic funds left the German government facing a 60 billion euro ($US65 billion) financial gap, leading to a sudden budget crisis.
The government backtracked partially, preserving the car tax exemption and staggering the reduction of diesel tax breaks over three years.
Despite this, the German Farmers' Association insists on a complete reversal and said it would proceed with a "week of action" starting Monday.
It’s not just the farmers. They get lots of support from truckers, craftsmen, employees in the service sector and many more.
I am German and I deeply appreciate, that the farmers made the first step. We are exhausted, exhausted from ever new taxes, tax increases, financial gifts to half of the world, an overly bureaucratic public system, extensive migration from people that don’t respect Germany and living conditions that get worse from month to month.
Germans are usually a calm and quiet people, but it is enough! It started with some hundred farmers after Christmas and protests yesterday had already about 2.5 million supporters. It will go on - for a better future.
Just out of curiosity, tell me why you don't like to use English? I know that most Germans speak English, I am a truck driver and I couldn't communicate in English I'm just asking out of curiosity
@@jozinzbazin3818 Honestly, I can’t tell you. Perhaps it is because English became obligatory in German schools quite late and many older people never learned it. But I don’t understand why younger people in Germany don’t answer in English. I can just assume that most neighbouring countries speak German as their second or third language and Germans therefor are too lazy to learn proper English. Or they are afraid that someone might laugh about their English skills - you know, German Angst and perfectionism … „Don’t do it, if you can’t do it right“. That’s true for most topics, but even bad skills can help someone foreign if he needs help. And mostly people will understand you, even if you make some mistakes.
But if you meet a German that says he can speak English, it’s mostly very good. I never had any issues with English and was often called for help from friends, if they were asked something in English.
🇺🇸❤️🇩🇪 Farmers everywhere are a resource, a treasure for the people of their resident nations.
Good produce and foodstuffs = healthy citizens.
The argument isn't about "being green" it's about controlling people through food scarcity.
Revolutions have happened over similar issues.
You have to sacrifice yourself for Ukraine.
European farmers are a bunch of privileged ppl. They need to change or go bankrupt..
No Carpenter nor mechanic gets money from our government, so why should they get that amount of money..
Farmers destroy roads with there heavy equipment, so why not paying tax like every other too..
As a former farmer, im definitely against them... Just greedy morons
But yes it's not ok to take that money for the farmers to finance their immigration fantasy
This is just awful, these are hard working people just trying to get by. Good on them for standing up.
They are subsidised to be bone lazy.
Blame the middle class and their Dumb phones ✅✅🐑
@nightbot1788On spot!👍🏻👍🏻
@nightbot1788 I don't think it is fair to look for a scapegoat and find help for Ukraine as one. We all know why there is a huge gap in the budget: the reason is government created mass hysteria during pandemics and started making huge debts, then they stockpiled this bmoney borrowed from future generations and discovered they can use them to make their green dreams true. Constitutional court said no and there was suddenly a 60 Billions gap and lack of ideas how to deal with it. So government decided to let society pay for own ignorance and society is not ready to follow.
BTW: germany's military help for Ukraine is not significant, per capita it is 20% of what such small country as Estonia does. The major part of money described in the media as "help for Ukraine" it is support for almost 1 Millions Ukrainian war refugees.
Germans are laughed at in America. What brainwashed liberals! Keep paying 4 times the price to America for LNG. We love it! 😆😅🤣😂
The world can live without politicians but the world cannot live without farmers
Many rulers over the years have forgotten that.
100/100
Agree
@@umeng2002I would rather say, they just don’t care about that fact… They live in their comfortable bubble and lost contact to the people.
That's just empty blabbering.
Especially when you consider that especially German farmers completely rely on subsidies from both the German government and even more from the EU.
without, they wouldn't be able to survive and prosper.
Those in government should be the first who can't eat when food shortages happen because of their actions.
They have that much of our money in their pockets they will never go hungry

@@wadeyoung3680Sad but true 🤢
They want that we eat bugs. #StopGreenDystopia

Well done German farmers. Stand up to the wef. Come on UK farmers unite.
The people are finally waking up and getting angry!
Without farmers you stores will be empty. It's a problem even here. Government are in everyones lives now.
*Finally!*
Which country do you live in? Did your people "finally wake up"? What are you as an individual doing against injustice from your government?
As a German, I can promise you that 90% will continue to vote for the leftist parties and nothing will change.
actuly need to know is it ok to bloock rodes when protesing or not
Germans farmers are civilised, check out the French farmers, they go to another level. Kudos to all farmers everywhere. .

The current quality of politicians globally is appalling and dangerous to humanity
The Green MP’s are the worst by far. Infantile zealots ..
How then do Australian farmers produce and export without subsidies, with the longest trade routes, cope with recurring droughts, suffer the punitive trade embargoes inflicted by the EU, and not lean on their government? Seems like European farmers could learn something from not being pampered.

Stand for your freedom Germany! Don’t let politicians determine your survival and our survival as people! From Canada/USA And I’m with all farmers rights!!
Thanks so much!❤
You should NEVER piss off the people who FEED YOU!!!!
I've always have had an unrelenting and unending support for farmers wherever they are on the world. And for them to stand up against those that wants to control the beginnings of every economy with nefarious reasons always draws a tear from my eyes with pride. We will ALWAYS stand with farmers that protects their land and livelihoods from ill willed governments. Like the Dutch Farmers, Germany you guys too get the same amount of respect that I have done with your Dutch counterparts.
Only a foolish government would take on farmers who are united in their cause.
The German government is definitely not independent, they get their orders from sleepy Joe and his intentions are not ours 🤮
Off road Diesel in the U.S. is not taxed. Period. It is dyed red and it is used for farm machinery, construction machines, excavators, rock trucks, bulldozers and for anything else like generators, water pumps or outdoor diesel powered lighting.
And also, home heating. But home heating oil is taxed, along with transportation costs. And was a lot cheaper before the last presidential election.
Amen!
@@mikeaugustyeah it’s hard sometimes to get paperwork out here for red dye diesel. Bureaucracy sucks the life out of people. But only getting back 11 cents after so much time…. And diesel being so expensive over there… now that’s ridiculous. They are wanting to turn every farm into a large corporate run operation. I feel that’s the case everywhere. None of our governments are truly making it easier for the little guys to make it in agriculture. And I think that it’s important to have families, with ties to the land, that care about it, to be able to make a good living from it.

Oh come one. We Greeks survived without so many farmers. They had the same problems here back in 2011. Just don't be so lazy, go back to work and pay your taxes.
Trudeau got his henchmen to starve out a group of Freedom Convoy truckers held up at a truck stop by cutting off power and putting up roadblocks on all roads going in and out. When they were just about out of supplies, one of the truckers inside the building started to hear some diesel engines that were not from your typical transport truck getting louder and louder followed by lights getting brighter and brighter. He pulls out his phone and goes to one of the windows to start recording. They were farm tractors cutting through a field due to the road blocks loaded with food, water and other supplies. The farmers answered the call when they saw truckers needing help. But more importantly, it was also a ginormous middle finger salute to Trudeau.

Go farmers go!!!
You vill own noszing, and you vill be happy.
Our country is one with the highest taxes on the planet.
And our government throws this money out with full hands.
For building bicycle was in Peru or building electricity networks some where in africa.
This is money that is missing in taking of our old people and building schools and so one.
We had a georgous country.
But this government ruins all.
They invest abroad to remain German power. That is the only truth. Germans can't live good without stealing from others. Keep your money and influence at your own country and you will see very fast. Your country invested billions in my country...all they invested is thievery and you're told it is about aid, making society stronger and democracy.
Anyone here surprised that there is NO coverage by the MSM? I'm certainly not.... And I live in the place where truckers like to congregate...
German here, i am proud of all the farmers, truckers and employees. Our Government is full of stupid a......les. it must end asap. We need a government like Australia that cares about their own citizens and not the rest of the world.

I suggest farmers grow their food, share amongst each other and sell to their friends and to people directly, do not provide food to processed food manufacturers and to the cities. Teach the politicians and their supporters a good lesson.
That sounds like a good idea, but all of the farmers I know in my area farm thousands of acres of grain crops like field corn, soy bean, and wheat. They would have to transition to planting other vegetables that are more useful to the average household like lettuce, onions, carrots and such. It really would be great if that did happen
This!
Absolutely right
Wer Steuererhöhungen und Subventionen nicht unterscheiden kann, der kann in Deutschland immer noch Wirtschaftsminister werden 😂
Do you care to chat and probably know each other?
Der Dieselprivileg ist heute noch vorhanden und gegenüber den Benzinern meine meinung nach ungerecht.
Den Dieselmotor wollen sie abschaffen, deswegen gehen die Steuern hoch aber den Kraftstoff nicht. Das ist total verrückt was dort abgeht.
Aber nicht nur in Deutschland sondern auch andere Länder haben solchen Chaos.

I was proud of our truckers in Canada as much as I am proud of all the farmers in Germany. Governments everywhere must serve their people, not the other way around.
FYI: The Translation "Traffic light" for "Ampel" is generally correct. However, here, "Ampel" is the Name for the actual German government, which consists of a coalition of: Social Democrats (red), Liberal Party (yellow), Ecological Party (green). Greetings from Germany 🙂
thank you, i was not sure what the traffic light meant but i have been reading their signs and seeing it. 👍
They want us to eat bugs!

Who wants us to eat bugs?
Nobody force you you to eat bugs. And by the way in some countries they are common to eat.
@@MuThunderIt‘s time for you, to wake up and maybe change your source of information…
The EU has brought up a law, that allows companies, to mix in bugs in certain kinds of foods. You can read that up yourself, just in case you’re one of those people, who calls others a CT…
a few months ago they allowed bugs in food , only Italy said no to bugs in pizza and pasta @@MuThunder

Wouldn't it work better if they blocked the politicians cars instead of the people who have no power?
So... you think protests would be MORE effective if they didn't inconvenience any voters? lol
They did that too.
The people who you say "have no power" are the people who voted for these politicians. The people who "have no power" will probably be calling or contacting their elected officials to complain about the traffic problems they've encountered and demand that the government do something about it. The people "who have no power" actually wield the power.
@@ronstephen-wy4ib
Votes barely change anything in society, but the effect on the economy (and the resulting lost taxes) does affect policymakers.
The farmers have deliberately chosen this form of protest. For a long time, the media did not report on the problems with agriculture. The aim was to attract the attention of the population. I was also a bit upset that I arrived at my company far too late yesterday. However, I was aware of the situation and could therefore understand it. Some of my work colleagues, for example, were completely unaware of the situation. We spent the whole lunch break talking about the protests and their background. A poster I saw on a tractor could be translated as follows: "We apologize for the interference in your everyday life, but it is necessary". The demonstration is more about encouraging people to vote for a different party at the next election and to draw attention to the problems.

They tried something similar in Canada, and they started freezing their bank accounts. A government really shows its true colors when the people stand up for themselves. Good luck Germany, hope you get some results.
I support the farmers !German and Australian, the removal of subsidies will force food production to the developing countries which use unsustainable methods and cause unchecked environmental damage.

This will happen by farmers towards national politicians, till those politicians realise who produces their food. As they did in Holland. It will happen a lot.
Never never ever fuck with the people that feed you.
Farmers everywhere are getting the big screw. It is time governments do right by the people who put food on our tables.
Not a single article on google news about this...
No farmers no food it’s that simple
It's not just about diesel tax. The problem is that they want more and more money from working people and are throwing it out the window on ideological prestige projects. This government was exposed with a shell trick and was reprimanded by the Constitutional Court and that is why they are missing 60 billion euros that they want to get from working people. The Germans have no problem paying high taxes, but not for thermal insulation in Ulan Bator, Green refrigerators in Colombia or cycle paths in Chile.

the money in question is 5-7% of the money Germany gives to ukraine per year
I love the way Governments increase taxes and give tax exemptions. Then later they remove the exemptions and claim they are not increasing taxes. And the public doesn't realize these tax increases will increase food prices!
That is the point.
Creating chaos, which serves the elites...
No Farmer No Food
I don't understand. Why are the governments of every country bent on ruining the farmers?
World economic forum. Klaus schwab . Google it if you do not know 😢😢😢
Did you know, that Bill Gates is the biggest owner of farmland in the US for example??? You think, that’s because he wants the farmers to stay independent and produce healthy food for the people?? Think again…
And he‘s got friends all over the planet.
The economic ruin for farmers result that more and more large companies are taking over the land.
Now that's the way to do it, but it will never happen in Australia because pusillanimity persists everywhere
God bless the farmers
Cut the subsidy, but support the war in Ukraine with the increased taxpayers money? Come on, kick this govt out

It is happening a lot of days on Greece..
