According to King Willem-Alexander, the nitrogen problem should not be left to the farmers. According to the King, this is a challenge for Dutch society as a whole. He said this to the NOS during his working visit to India.
"The nitrogen problem is new and a solution must be found. This does not only concern agricultural companies, but society as a whole." According to de Koning, we cannot look at comparable approaches in other countries, because this problem is new and unique.
'Happy with support'
Bart Kemp from Agractie, de initiator of the farmers' protest on October 1, reports that he is happy with the support of King Willem-Alexander. "It is good to see that the king is seeking dialogue and not putting the blame on the farmers," he said.
