Roadblocks and angry crowds on the roads!

During the course of yesterday, a nationwide farmer demonstration began in the Netherlands, due to the government's order. More than 10,000 Dutch farmers and environmentalists protested in The Hague on Saturday against the government's policy to limit nitrogen emissions, which they say will cripple many economies and hit the food industry. There have been restrictions before, but farmers see that these measures do not cover reality. They think that it is in someone's interest that some interest group wants to enforce the reduction of nitrogen, and with this they are pushing many farmers to the brink of bankruptcy. While Europe announced a blockade against the Russians, Dutch products are still available in Russian stores. It would cause huge losses and economic collapse for the EU if the previously established productive sphere were disrupted. Farmers simply do not understand why this is necessary, since the provision would further increase the price of food!
