The organization of the farmers' manifestation Agractie is satisfied with the progress of the protest. The estimate of the number of people who were on their feet varies from 10.000 to approximately 20.000. Still, initiator Bart Kemp is not completely satisfied.
According to the organization everything went neat and safe, except for the incident with the crush barriers. The police, who had deployed heavy equipment, also report that there were no significant incidents. The organization of Agractie declares to be proud of the farmers.
The reactions about the actions of the MPs are less positive. "Tjeerd de Groot (D66) and Jesse Klaver (GroenLinks) did not have to come from me today," said Bart Kemp. "These MPs have said nothing meaningful and only come to tell their own story instead of listening. We are the experts, they are not."
Beautiful day
All in all, Kemp thought it was a beautiful day. Farmers who took part in the protests also believe that the organization has delivered a feat. Many also say they are happy that their colleagues have come so en masse. Kemp, however, is already looking ahead. "We want more than just vague promises after this day."
