News Farmers protest

Anger furious at Public Prosecution Service

27 December 2019 - Redactie Boerenbusiness - 37 comments

Agractie Nederland is furious at the Public Prosecution Service (OM) and in special area officer Linda Bregman. According to her, the Public Prosecution Service failed by barely taking action against the tractors on the highways during the large farmers' actions last autumn. Bregman speaks of 'threatening and intimidating' farmers, in which a lot of 'alcohol was also involved'. 

The area officer did the statements in the staff magazine Opportuun† According to Agractie Nederland, the Public Prosecution Service is trying to wipe their streets clean with incorrect reporting at the expense of the farmers. The organization of initiator Bart Kemp describes in a statement that during the first large farmers' protest on 1 October, the law enforcement officers themselves sent the farmers onto the highway.

"We have always communicated that the highway should not be used by tractors, but everywhere in the country, columns of tractors were led directly onto the highway by police officers from local forces, regularly waved goodbye by the local mayor and aldermen," says Agractie. The organization claims to have been in constant contact with the police and various mayors. 

No arrests
More than 5.000 tractors and more than 20.000 farmers were involved in the largest campaigns, Agractie reports. "With the exception of a single incident, there have been no violations and arrests and participants in the mass demonstrations adhered to the instructions of the police. There was also no sign of alcohol consumption at most of the demonstrations, let alone 'a lot'."

Agractie Nederland says it is surprised that the triangle (local government, police and justice, ed.) in The Hague had not arranged their affairs on 1 October, had insufficient police officers and shuttle buses ready on the beach at Scheveningen, and allowed tractors to continue driving. .

Again typical such a worthless official who wipes her own street and who is not hindered by any insight or reason

The left-wing political parties and groups, such as Wakker Dier, etc., are only trying to impose ideals on society.
and are now trying to create dissension among the peasants to get their senses through.

It is in any case strange that the left-wing political minorities/parties in the Netherlands are still in charge at all local levels.
I think that's because left-wing political parties still manage to keep the rivalry alive with dissenting parties, rather than tackling national problems together.

Farmers in the Netherlands have an absolute guiding role in the world. The whole world is wondering how these Dutchmen manage to produce so much beautiful - clean and safe food. Without losing sight of the environment and animal friendliness. Nowhere in the world are animals treated so skillfully. You would almost think this is going well!! I would like to wish Mr. Gait all the best and a very healthy 2020

I was in The Hague and I can attest.
They were already drinking in the morning and later there were beer bottles everywhere, even on the bike path, I threw a few to the side because I didn't want cyclists to fall over them. I was also sent away in the morning because the police could not guarantee my safety. Another woman who spontaneously stood up with a piece of cardboard with text was taken from her plate and torn up... She tried that time and again with my plate during later protests. Some were also friendly.

I rest peasant and am ashamed of the young farmers of today. Something with blinders and otherworldly behavior?

Gait, you don't have to say it 4 times! How do you get it in your head to go against the peasants? Hard-working people are unlike paid climate activists on benefits.
Frans 28 December 2019
Remains that 90% of tractor drivers are not farmers but 16-20 year olds on a school trip.

Do not point at a peasant, for that is a saint! Bite off your finger.

And Frans that 90% makes no sense at all and you know that too. Moreover, nowadays a very expensive driver's license is required and the registration requirement is also on the way. Thanks to the farmer bullying government!

Smart Roy, also like annual MOT and of course also motor vehicle tax. Why not? It's logical!

Dear gait, nothing better to do?!
Mozes 29 December 2019
you baking, really sin (You don't even know each other..!)

how hard is it to stick to the facts, use common sense

Eternal shame that we have to repeat the work of politicians, after Groningen and Lelystad, the dispute between left and right is nothing compared to our enslavement by coming hate cultures and their refugees.

Farmers kick off exploitation overpopulation problems.

Frans 29 December 2019
Roy, all the farm boys and girls in our region have their tractor driver's license at 16. I can understand that they love going on the highway with it. Filled up three of my tractors myself and gave them three times. The fathers waved them off and drank coffee in my cafeteria. Beautiful, but remains a school trip.
Peter34 29 December 2019
next time release a couple of animals here and there; free range in the city, on the motorway. What answer would the army and police have to that?
All kidding aside, because in that regard it is a shame that the pig prices are now so good.

@Moses. You certainly hit an important point, but it doesn't fit in this forum/site.
Emil 29 December 2019
@Peter34, regarding Moses:
This is exactly why the right got away with it and the left didn't. (Speaking right and acting left is much worse than the left!).

Compared to chatting at each other on farm sites, politics and society are still very polite.
Piet 29 December 2019
That's right, the Right is ill-considered left policy without referendums in a democracy!

You don't expect what the right does from a historian.

FARMERS WARNED US.

The result is insane, ill-considered policy: pallet burning, burning American forests in bio-fired plants, breaking down natural gas pipelines, 1400 euros per month for child subsidies and only cursing 500 euros per year for farmers! Tesla for the elite & free (subsidized) refueling at eating stations etc.
Harm 29 December 2019
Bottom line, farmers provide employment and food, this provides billions in taxpayers' money directly and indirectly in factories and distribution centers, export, transport sector, etc. etc.

The FARMERS can expect a policy from this and not the insane lobby monstrosity that The Hague comes up with for a future that we together deserve for politicians day and night: indigestible!

Mortor carriages do not tax because we already pay for the use of the polder roads through the water board charges.
Drent 29 December 2019
gait, motorbike tax would be ridiculous, tractors drive more on the land than on the road. In addition, there are also tractors that never go on public roads.

Motors of 100 kg have to pay and tractors of 6000 kg not? explain this to me!

Roy 29 December 2019
What are you talking about man? Tractors drive on land. It's all ranch. Just like the Public Prosecution Service, the judiciary is no longer objective at all.
About the nitrogen, 1 goose with its shit ensures that the maximum standard for 14 hectares of land is reached. Shouldn't we shoot all the geese before we start talking about nitrogen measures?
Drent 29 December 2019
Wouldn't it be nice to let cyclists pay for the use of the bicycle path? Once again tractors mainly drive on your own land, paying tax for that will be too crazy
Fred 30 December 2019
Roy, bring on the numbers!

Measuring is knowing.

Farmers:
Ps you can always throw away your passport and have it registered at the asylum seeker center, FREE home, FREE work, FREE food & children's subsidy, all gifts from our RIGHT-WING government.

Making reality negotiable, that's what fakerutland is all about.

Roy 30 December 2019
Shooting geese is not going to happen to him in this D66/Green Left country. My point is therefore that the nitrogen discussion can be closed immediately. Due to the presence of the geese, we farmers will never meet the standard. All possible measures will prove to be insufficient thanks to the goose. There is of course no nitrogen problem at all, see Nordrhein-Westfalen. Just skip some Natura park areas and raise the standard. Where there is a will, there is a way, Minister Schouten!

One word is missing here, so again:
