From now on, strikes and road and railway blockades are starting in all Germany. An eight-day nationwide agricultural workers' protest, linked to road blockades, as defined by Joachim Ruquied, head of the DBV farmers' association as ‘the kind of country that has never experienced before’, will take place despite the government's partial withdrawal of the fuel subsidy.
In an interview published today, Ruquied asked the public for knowing and support. "We do not want to lose the support and solidarity we received from a large part of society," he told Stern magazine, but he added that farmers "will not accept the planned increases in taxes for the agricultural sector." He besides warned that activists of utmost political groups should not usage protests to accomplish their own goals. On its social media channels, sAlternativa for Germany (AfD) outlines average people "bringing to ruin by irresponsible political leadership as in the mediate Ages" and calls on citizens to join what it calls a "general strike".
