German farmers initiated a week-long nationwide protest by blocking roads with tractors, protesting against proposed agricultural subsidy cuts. Tractor convoys, adorned with banners reading “No farmers, no food, no future,” caused traffic jams across the country. Farmers, fearing bankruptcy due to the end of tax breaks, vowed to block major routes. The protests coincide with a train drivers’ strike, potentially disrupting roads and railways. Despite last-minute government modifications to subsidy cuts, farmers, led by Joachim Rukwied, head of the German farmers’ association DBV, persisted with protests, urging public support while cautioning against far-right exploitation of the situation.
