- Farmers across Germany have begun a week-long strike to protest the government's plans to cut agricultural subsidies. The government has already rolled back its decision to slash fuel subsidies for farmers, after weeks of angry demonstrations. Protests planned for the next seven days include rallies that will disrupt traffic in several regions. A procession of tractors is expected to block off a central road here in Berlin as farmers bring their frustrations to the government's doorstep.

#Germany #Farmers #Protest
As a farmer here in Canada. I support the German farmers 100 %. I am proud they are standing their ground 💯
Thank you ❤
Thank YOU from Germany ;) lets stand together.....
Les agriculteurs allemands sont plus intelligents Les agriculteurs français sont plus intelligents
They are hypocrites, they suck. They have record winnings in the entire industry for years, the fuel they protest for, is paid for by the very people they keep from getting to work.
@@theoroth3669 im from Germany too but i hate the doublestandards Here, altright, leftwing or clima protests got hate If they doing bloking or vandalism and farmers got Support...
Polish farmers support German farmers. United we win ❤️
German farmers get about twice the farming subsidies that Polish farmers get. They are your competition and they are cheating. Getting paid to undercut YOUR farmers.
Thank YOU from Germany ;) lets stand together.....
I support the farmers! they are the fondation of our civilization, from Canada
And we know how badly are northern neighbors have had it from the Trudeau regime.
Finaly
Same here! Canada now needs to figure out how to deal with hamas, houti and hesbollah supporters.
you dont even know whats really going on here..
Agree. No farmers, no food.
I’m a Farmer in Texas. I stand with my fellow Deutcher Baueren
The same Bauern who pushed the EU to prevent food imports from the US.
You stand with all germans cause we all stand with them
@@Davinhomx You stand with Germany? At the moment the US want to keep the whole EU under water with the "sanctions" and his proxy war. "Divide et Impera"
@@Davinhomx Which is dumb...
It's good that they are striking but they are striking for the wrong thing - for out-of-tax-payer-wallet-subsidies for fuel.
They should instead strike for of higher taxes for packaged food in stores and lower taxes for farmer sold food.
That way local food automatically becomes subsidized (lower taxes with money going directly from the tax-paying-buyer to a worthy farmer), longer distance food becomes penalized (higher taxes) and large store chain owners get penalized for pretending that owning the shelves is a real large added value for which they should be payed handsomely (while transport is handled by others so they are just boss pretenders to begin with).
@@DerDoMeN no its not
the government makes the policy and cuts the livelyhood of them the farmers dont make the policy
maybe its time for politicians to think about your solution.
As a ex German now living in Canada, all of Canada is standing with you! Our message to the corrupt government, Don’t bite the hand that feeds you!
Just like how all of Canada stood with Canadian truckers.
Its weird how a German can become a Canadian but a Canadian can't become a German, also when did we start letting the enemy in?
Wtf you talking about? How is Germany the enemy? You high?
seems like you have lost touch to what is going on here.

Swedes would also stand behind German people if they knew about these protests. Unfortunatelly our media is not reporting about it at all.
The police closed the borders
The same thing is happening in Germany. The media is protecting the politician just like here in the USA.
Swedish politicians, academics and liberals have ruined democracy. Look what they did to Sweden.
Sweden is the sheepiest of all sheep countries.
many such cases of late brother, european politics becoming dangerously corrupt and intransparent
Had to go to Germany today for work, took me 4.5 hours which normally takes 1.5 hours but I totally understand why they are protesting!
The Dutch stand with the Germans on this one!
Thank you very much for your patience!
Not only Dutch supports us, but also Poland, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Belgium, the French and whoever else managed to come here. it's incredible ❤️ THX
At least Germans still have machinery and money for food/fuel to protest! Ever since my country joined EU we lost all of that and can't afford to protest for longer than 6 hours. We do gained a lot of non EU immigrants tho and now I have to carry knife when shopping after 6 pm
Thank YOU from Germany ;) lets stand together.....
no food without farmers,,,we need more farmers not less,,100% support for the farmers
Do you know anything about the topic? Doesn't sound like that.
Tell that to the ones they pushed out of the market with their tax payer supported low prices.
@@Vierkantholz Sounds like the government is putting the squeeze on farmers by making the fuel they use more expensive, probably because the earth is "going to burn" or some nonsense. But please, enlighten us.
A Society needs everyone, not just well fed farmers
Well... We need more farmers...
So let's remove subsidies and instead tax food sold by farmers to consumers less and tax store packaged food more.
Striking for tax-payer-subsidised fuel instead of such changes the wrong thing to support and to praise them for.
Supporting the farmers. They must never give up and let corporations take their land, or we are all doomed!
Farmers, handymen, restaurateurs, self-employers etc. So proud. Was here in Hamburg. Peaceful, good energy and the most of the other people who could not drive to work were supporters. This is a great start in the year 2024. Our government is a mess. Thank you for your support all over Europe and more..
We have the same mess in America.
@@YellowRoseofTexas01 I know. Watch every day the news from US and Australia. All over the West Countries..It has to change soon
My friends in Germany told me last Weekend about the protest in Berlin on Monday. I listened to Fox News and even Newsmax. Not one word about it. Thanks for U tube keeping Europeans in the US informed.

Thx for all these nice and supportive words under here ❤ I'm a german farmers daughter and i was shocked by how people under the german news reports instrumentalized the comment section as well as the farmers protest itself for hate or for any kind of right-wing radical slogans. The german farmers are standing for democracy and are using their democratic right to demand justice. In an uncorrupted and peaceful way. What we want is respect for what we do. Nothing more, nothing less.

It appears that all of the news that we receive is biased or influenced in some way maybe some agenda behind
Yup, that is pretty concerning. It sounded like MSNBC in its efforts to support the crazy left, but if they continue to do that, I am sure, it will backfire with Germans. Because then the adults will come into the room...
Nice! ❤ In Canada we love the German farmers and their supporters.
Thank YOU from Germany ;) lets stand together.....
Support to german farmers, duch farmers and farmers from all over Europe!
Dear media, please know that the people of your countries love farmers and hate politicians.
This is about removing agricultural subsidies… aka less government intervention. Right wingers should be happy about this.
@jake9764 While I agree with you in principle, my comment remains true and irrelevant to your reply. I do know these liberal corrupt western governments are bending over backwards to subsidize green energy and Ukraine and illegal immigration at the expense of the people and their safety and security in addition to their wealth and freedom and dignity. I have no problem in such a scenario giving money to farmers. In this case, the government is removing farmer subsidies with not the goal of reducing government as you say, but with the goal of starving and subjugating the people to dependence and slavery to make an all powerful permanent evil government control grid.
How love politicians
Well done farmers! Don't let the bureaucrat class, which has all the privileges, take away our privileges from us, the working classes - who work very hard. I am with you with all my heart. We just want to live with dignity. Take care!
Farmers are the heart of any country so full support to them, from Canada.
Thank YOU from Germany ;) lets stand together.....
Stand with the farmers everywhere!
full support from Poland!
Thank YOU from Germany ;) lets stand together.....
I'm German and it's not just the farmers, but also logistics companies, truck drivers, craftsmen and many more. In addition, almost all of Europe supports us. They drive to Berlin with their tractors and trucks. We are currently experiencing the largest demonstration since World War II. It's the start of something really big!
PLEASE SUPPORT US TOO AND RAISE THE GERMAN FLAG! Thank you all ! We are all humans ♥
Hats off to the farmers!!!
They are dumb...
They are striking for out-of-tax-payer-wallet-subsidies for fuel instead of higher taxes for packaged food in stores and lower taxes for farmer sold food.
In such case the "just movin' from one place to another in large chunks" people would get less, farmers would get more and long distance import would be less competitive since they would be packaged to begin with...
So they are doing the right thing by striking but are striking for the wrong thing.
@@DerDoMeN I agree with you, i am applauding their "courage" to strike at least ... nowadays most of people are numb to decreassing living standards, high inflation, government corruption and media manipulation ... it will get only worse, if people don't stand up
Support to the farmers! They are an essential and indispensable part of our society.
No farmers then no food. Everyone needs to support the farmers.
I want money also. Give me more socialism.
"Oh no, they are making farmers pay taxes just like everyone else? Guess that means that they can't produce food anymore"
Why should the taxpayers, pay for farmers to earn money? If german farmers would not produce food, we wouldn't starve, we would purchase it from abroad at a cheaper price.
@@brandonsturgeon5377if the country has money for a support war why farmers need to pay more petrol ?????
@@hahahahah937 If the country has money to support farmers why truckers need to pay for petrol?
If the country has money to support truckers why bakers need to pay for flour?
If the country has money to support bakers why supermarkets need to pay for produce?
If.. if.. if...
Farmers will go bankrupt, food prices will sky rocket, food quality will decline, diversity of produce will also decline and Germany will be poorer in so many ways, and way more dependent on imports. This is a horrible antinational measure. We fully support the farmers. Hats of to them for putting up a stand against this oppressive madness. Alles Gute von Rumänien!!
And more dependent on the government than ever
Hmm sounds like a very “anti-life” agenda it’s so blatantly obvious.

In Canada those people would get called domestic terrorist and have their bank accounts frozen
That's how its going in now all over the Soviet West.
We're not far behind that, the rhetoric certainly goes in that direction
Don’t you have the right to protest? The protests were registered in advance and are legal. Poor Canada if that is true.
In germany you can register protests and they are legal. The police tried to stop it in court but the "high court" threw their appeal into the trash bin😂
But that's what they are, why defend that?
Thank you for standing up, small homesteader, Michigan US
Thank YOU from Germany ;) lets stand together.....
You are absolutely right...enough is enough!! As a Canadian, Germans stood with us in solidarity with Canadian citizens when that dictator pushed their agenda on us!

The people support the farmers. The media and politicians no longer support the people.
What is she talking about!! This is the calmest protest in the world!
Need to be a bit more forceful I say. Violence is the only language our governments understand here in the west. ffs look how many costly wars they support then tell its people to be peaceful. Poppycock!!!
100% support for the farmers. Support local farm shops! They are literally feeding us!
the question must be asked. why is the current model so economically unsustainable that agriculture is the most subsidised sector in the EU? why must fuel also be subsidised? because what big farms produce are commodities, not actual food. all for supporting local farm shops, but small farms are not the ones guzzling so much fuel and enjoying such subsidies. the bigger the farm, the more the subsidies stack up. I speak from experience and it must be considered that the situation in the EU vastly differs from country to country.
@@dagurruif u can send money in Ukraina u can pay Ur farmers substitute simply no???
@@dagurrumy take is it takes a lot to have farmers protesting. The high cost of fuel is the cause of the government. We’re seeing these farmers across the globe as their tool. The governments tool and it has to stop somewhere. JS
I don't know why, they're gonna lose
German government would rather send billions to nahtzi Ukraine
Respect to the farmers.
No Farmers No Food!❤❤❤
Farmers, heroes of the work and the economy !
And yet they strike to get tax-payer-money no matter if they work well or not instead of striking for lower taxation of their produce when sold to people and larger taxation for store owners and long distance packaged food...
It's a good thing that they're striking but they're striking for the completely wrong thing.
Wherent we told that this would happen in Russia because of sanctions??😂😂😂
Oh Dear - Brussels won't like this
They just had to get the "Far Right" in, didn't they?
Exactly. I woul like to have the define what that "far rght" is. It appears, anyone who disagree with the controlling narrative.

Wonder how different the approach by the government will be in comparison to the climate street gluers.
very different. Farmers have a huge lobby
These farmers are backed by corporations who benefit from the subsidies, so of course they'll get their way compared to climate activists whom they are trying to silence
Yeah... and suddenly the same people saying people should just drive through the climate protests are quiet.
@@vybeschoo always the same ... :-(
@@vybeschooWell yes. The Farmers announced their Protest, most People don't find their goal ridicules and they can clear the street quickly for Ambulances and others. The Goal they are pursuing is different and many have more Sympathie for Farmers then they have for Hippies
Well... We need more farmers...
So let's remove subsidies and instead tax food sold by farmers to consumers less and tax store packaged food more.
Striking for tax-payer-subsidised fuel instead of such changes the wrong thing to support and to praise them for.
100% support to farmers in germany. Good luck to them.
Go Farmers Go! 🚜🚜🚜🚜👏🏻🍁🇨🇦 City dwellers need to be reminded where their food comes from. Politicians who fly in private jets have no business lecturing the hardest working people in the world-farmers and other essential workers. Politicians and bureaucrats are not essential!
And farmers should be reminded where subsidies come from. Hint: It's coming from the rest of us, not from some bottomless pit of money. I do feel sympathy for them, but it's limited and stops quickly when the farmers start to block roads...
The political classes need to heed the warnings. they have too much control over society
I support the Farmers. Hello from Calgary! Well done boys!
Thank you very much friend! Greetings from Germany
Thank YOU from Germany ;) lets stand together.....

Hardly, most farmers here are multi-millionaires and they demonstrate against a reduction of subsidies for farmers.

We need really help regarding our problems with the government and support our farmers and critics!
Support for farmers
Farmers are one of the few the actual building blocks of any country or civilization, They should be prioritized and protected especially in this day and age
No subsidies for farmers. If they cannot survive they should work somewhere else.
They have been and now they aren’t economically sustainable nor environmentally sustainable either :/
Farmers want their welfare and the conservatives when they come to power would want to scrap it
@@ernstschwaig4667 Of course they need subsidies. Having regional food production is essential or you get a critical dependency to trade routes (see ship blockades or the canal havaries recently) with life-threatening consequences. And to be able to compete with the mass-producers who gives a damn about monocultures and environmental protection. Those who will be affected by climate change first. If we are not careful we going into a disaster only 2nd to Mao's policies in the 60/70ties.
the WEF and their stooges want to destroy agriculture to 'save the planet'.
@@ernstschwaig4667 Are you mental? What do you mean if they cannot survive they should work somewhere else? Where to do you think foods comes from?
É curioso que estas notícias não passem nos serviços noticiosos em Portugal. Porque será? Será que têm medo que seja contagioso😮
I don't think the right is anything to worry about, the left on the other hand is a different story.
Good! ❤Love from the Netherlands! Go German farmers!!
Yay!! I stand with farmers and the working class
Should the working class not pay taxes?
People who are growing food shouldn't pay taxes so working class can buy food for ceaper right? @@Thor.Jorgensen
@@Jhaldmer I can't afford a tractor, or a combine harvester, or five dozen cows, let alone a whole farm.
Are you sure farmers are working class? They are rich and own property. Working-class people are poor and can only afford to rent from rich landlords.
That is true, farmers own property but I don't think its a given that they are rich. There are many in my counrty that barely make ends meet by farming and they are not hiring workers or anything, they are geting in their fields and watering their crops by shoveling soil and moving water trough canals. They have equipment yes but it was not easy to buy for them. They are more like self employed sure but they are not capital owners either. I did't mean industrial farmers should not pay taxes or anything, type of farmer I mentioned before is what comes first to my mind is all. I am sorry if I assumed wrongly.I meant in my previous comment that ceaper food is beneficial for working class by the way.@@Thor.Jorgensen
@@Jhaldmer Okay, in your country? This is Germany. German farmers are richer than your average wage worker, often with large 300+m² interiors, and often own more than one family car. Meanwhile, wage laborers have to make do with high rent in 15-30m² apartments and often don't own a car at all.
If wage laborers need to pay taxes, then German farmers should, too.
As a Dutchman I totally agree with the Farmers🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
🏴Farmers Defence Force🏴
Not taxing or lower taxes on fuel used for working farms vs highways is obvious, and not a subsidy. Giving you back your own money is not a subsidy.
The farmers will be protesting in Ireland next shortly.. they are doing the same thing but also set the vat at the higher rate of certain products for farming up to 23%.... well done from Ireland... the public will start to complain only when they're paying higher prices for their food

The same Bauern who pushed the EU to prevent food imports from the US.
Brits are not known to protest easily but I seen similar arguments and discontent before Brexit. And almost all agricultural sectors voted for Brexit and now regretted it because the problems are not caused by the EU or even governments *the problem is the food industry itself.*
It's monopolized and centralized and the money farmers get no longer reflects the work involved. It's not even a problem of the price for the consumers but the sharing of the profits is unfair because most is skimmed of by the corporations to enrich shareholders not farmers. Consumer are unhappy about high prices and farmer about bad revenue so someone has to syphon off the wealth in the middle.
As an American I can tell you that capitalism will destroy this planet. Not communism not socialism but CAPITALISM.

@@dal6984 yes, its about imposing a corptocracy on the European man, plain and simple.

Got no response.
I'm a farmer I don't regret brexit at all.
Farmers are more important than politicians and government.
100% truth!
This is not a "politicians" vs. "farmers" show with the good, the bad etc.
I understand (to a certain degree) that the farmers are angry when subsidies are cut.
But please ask yourself: How much more taxes are you willing to pay so that the farmers get their subsidies? Because it's all of us that pay for them.
@@katarn999I'd gladly pay taxes that goes to the farmers, their products are dirt cheap compared to many countries, where a kg of onion cost almost half a day's salary, for example, have you heard of that? But I won't pay tax that support some war outside the country, just help them negotiate.
@@izzyrov5814 Sure, let‘s compare Germany to some 3rd-world country. Obviously, the amounts spent for food there are a lot higher compared to a family’s total income. Survival by having food on the table is still the number one priority there.
Then again, that knowledge does not help us in any way for the situation in Germany.
So again: How much more taxes - or direct price raises on the agricultural products if you want - are you really willing to pay in relation to your salary? 1%? 5%? 20%?
PS: Sure, let‘s leave Ukraine to their own devices... let‘s just hope Russia stops after it has conquered Ukraine. It‘s not like Russia ever attacks the baltics or Poland. I‘m sure nothing bad will happen... 🤨
food security should be the no.1 priority of any government Refuse the bug soup. Support the farmers.
20 Twenty years ago, I lived in a village that was surrounded by arable fields, including directly across the land from my house. I the spring a trailer load of tons of artificial fertiliser which was spread across the field. Twice during the growing season, agrichemicals were sprayed on the crops. Fertiliser and chemicals and chemicals had had to be manufactured and transported. After harvest the field was ploughed and stood bare, neither use nor ornament to man of beast, until spring. Then I moved to my current home a few miles away, surrounded by land too steep for arable farming, it is grazed by sheep and cattle, the grass goes in one end, the poo comes out the other and they don't need watering at any time like many arable crops do. The poo fertilisers the grass, which is green all year around (so no leaching of minerals) provides a medium for insect eggs and subsequent larvae feed the birds. The greatest difference I noticed here is the incredible variety and quantity of wildlife at all levels from insects up to mammals. Livestock farming causing global warming is utter BS, and driving 20 miles from my town to the nest nearest town, through countryside on a B road, I'll see far more cars and lorries than sheep or cows.
Fantastic. We need more action against WEF and corrupt governments.
it's those governments who brought the subsidy based in the first place. where do those subsidies go? into paying off petrochemical based inputs (big ag-chem industry), bank loans, machinery, technology - many owned by the very conglomerates that dictate the price of food commodities.
Great protest. Farmers are more important than before. Importing everything is a nonsense

Doesn't seem great that everywhere has to subsidise farmers else they can't compete.
There is no other way to maintain regional food production. Without the external tariffs and subsidies to farmer enforced by the EU the markets would be swamped with low-cost low-quality mass-produced stuff from America, Australia and South-America. We would get dependent on trade routes and prone to weather disasters and political conflicts or even simple ship havaries in cannels.
@@AaronOkeanos I agree that you'd need some level of subsidies to avoid a regional collapse and safeguard against weather/climate/conflict/etc, but there are much higher levels of subsidies than would be necessary just for that due to just about everywhere subsidising farmers. The US being a prime example.
@@JoshuaStringfellow1 The US is using subsidies not to self-protect but to enrich wealthy donors with stocks in the food industry. The money is used to pump out cheaper products for export, to make profits and to be able to use this lever for political influence. It is clearly misused there.
The Swiss farmers are the most subsidized farmers ever in the world (EU, at least).
Yeah they should just sanction Russia for the hundredth time and give their money to Ukraine, that will help Germany.
Shame on you, DW, for the title! They are fighting for FREEDOM not "paralyzing traffic"!!

indian farmers also had a huge protest government and even modernised people dont just understand anything regarding farming at all...

Smearing any protests as „supporting the Right“ has become the German government‘s mode of dismissing criticism, just as they smear pro-Palestinian protests as „anti-semitic“. It is a transparent manoeuvre, but is more likely to backfire. It paints the AfD and right wing fringe movements as champions of legitimate concerns over government policy, which is placing a huge economic burden on average and low income earners while sparing the rich and the corporations, which are paying out record dividends to their shareholders. The social democrats, the SPD, are widely seen as having betrayed the average earner while the Left has become largely ineffective. If people are turning to the AfD, a party that offers no solutions to the various crises whatsoever, that is because the rest of the political spectrum so poorly represents them. It is not the protest turning people to the AfD, but government policies.
Força agricultores alemães! Precisa derrubar esse governo que faz tudo o contrario dos interesses alemães.
