The Great German Revolt: Farmers Bring Government to Standstill

On Monday, farmers across Germany staged tractor protests in the manner of the Dutch to protest the globalist policies of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's government.

By Ryan Delarme, January 8, 2024

In opposition to the leftist coalition government’s proposed hikes on diesel fuel taxes, elimination of the car tax exemption for farmers, and significant reductions in subsidies for the farming sector, farmers organizations initiated their week-long action.

The tax hikes and financing reductions were being considered by the government in an effort to close a $18.6 billion (17 billion euros) budget gap in 2024. While the government was inclined to explore additional funding sources from German farmers, it remained steadfast in its refusal to reduce assistance to Ukraine, which is projected to increase by twofold to eight billion euros this year.

The government announced prior to the week of scheduled farmer protests that it was willing to reverse a portion of the agricultural subsidy cuts and restructure the tax increases over the following three years. The German Farmers’ Association (DBV), on the other hand, stated that such measures would be inadequate to avert the impending economic catastrophe that besets a great number of farmers nationwide.

As a result of the nationwide demonstration that began on Monday, entrances to tunnels, bridges, and motorways were blocked by tractors in several German states. As reported by NTV, access sites to entire cities in the state of Brandenburg, including the urban areas of Brandenburg a der Havel and Cottbus, have been cordoned off by the farmers.

A minimum of 566 tractors, in addition to automobiles, trucks, and vans, reportedly descended upon the city center of Berlin, blocking the Street of June 17th between the Brandenburg Gate and the Victory Column, where a candlelight vigil is scheduled for the evening.

A Volkswagen plant in Emden also ceased production on Monday due to tractors obstructing access roadways surrounding the facility, impeding employees’ ability to commute to their duties.

Joachim Rukwied, president of the German Farmer’s Association, stated that the government was “depriving agriculture of its future viability”. Rukwied stated that the proposed subsidy cuts and tax increases, in addition to rising energy costs caused by years of green agenda policies and the conflict in Ukraine, would cause the average German farmer to lose at least one-third of their income.

The head of the Farmer’s Association then refuted the government’s assertions that it was cash-strapped, arguing that the bloated Berlin government has a problem with spending rather than income and that the government should seek to reduce expenditures in other areas.

The farmer protests in Germany are reminiscent of those in the Netherlands, where their counterparts staged a comparable uprising against the Great Reset-style agenda of departing Prime Minister Mark Rutte, which sought to comply with the European Union’s green agenda by closing thousands of farms.

Political triumph resulted from the extensive demonstrations in the Netherlands; the BoerBurgerBeweging (Farmer-Citizen Movement), the party affiliated with the protests, emerged as the preeminent regional party and the most influential force in the Senate subsequent to the regional elections held last spring. At this time, the party is engaged in discussions with the populist leader and anticipated prime minister Geert Wilders, who is anticipated to form a coalition government.
