Farmers Defense Force plans new large-scale campaigns with farmers, tractors and other vehicles around Christmas. The builders, united in Bouw in Verzet, are also participating. Agractie is looking at whether the action of 13 December in Amsterdam should be given a different character.
The organizations are all deeply disappointed in the government's attitude towards the nitrogen dossier. For example, Farmers Defense Force and Agractie are disappointed that the plans of the Agricultural Collective hardly serious were taken by Minister Carola Schouten (Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality). In addition, the irritation meters were high when Schouten announced anyway 'latent nitrogen space' to be included in the application for a new permit. In the plan, the Agricultural Collective is categorically against the occupation of latent space.
Plan collectively very valuable
In the debate on the emergency law, Schouten announced on Wednesday 4 December that he found the plan of the Agricultural Collective to be very valuable and that he recognized himself in many source measures proposed by the Collective. However, according to the Collective, she has not yet given any indication as to whether she wants to implement the proposal. In the debate, Minister Schouten said that he would await new advice from the Remkes Committee (on grazing and fertilising). She also hinted that the purchase of livestock farms near Natura 2000 areas will be reflected in the new nitrogen plan.
It therefore seems to be positioning itself on a collision course with the parties in the Agricultural Collective. Mark van den Oever, the chairman of Farmers Defense Force, says that enough is enough. In a letter to his followers, whom he calls 'warriors', he wonders what the real reason is that the plan of the Agricultural Collective is not being embraced by the cabinet.
Freedoms Taken
He attributes this to a philosophy he describes as 'climate salafism'. "Our fundamental freedoms are being taken away by bigots who, without any scientific, social or economic foundation, rob farmers of their rights that are inviolable and fundamental. With a government that at the same time continues to provide the largest polluting industries with subsidies and the right to screw," writes Van den Oever.
He writes that it is time to put a stop to these climate salafists. "By refreshing their memory. Pointing out to them the importance of good, healthy and accessible food. Because, what if there is a kink in that cable?" With this, Farmers Defense Force seems to be planning to disrupt logistics in the food supply, for example by blocking distribution centers of supermarkets (such as Jumbo and Albert Heijn). Farmers Defense Force is calling on farmers to form teams of 50 tractors or other vehicles for the actions.
Brunch changes character
The board will meet on Monday evening 9 December to discuss the date and the final details of the action. Also Agractie, where foreman Bart Kemp recently announced to take a step back, puts their heads together. The farmers' organization has planned the 'Boer & Burger Brunch' on Friday 13 December in Amsterdam on Dam Square and Rokin. The minister's attitude will change the content of the event, Agractie informs her followers. In what way is not yet clear.

Sincerely curious about the opinion of farmers about the fact that 80% of Dutch production is exported. Isn't that unhealthy and unsustainable?
Mi therefore has to buy out the government, with good and fair amounts. The survivors then earn more with their products, and the emissions go down.
