The Hague tractor action FDF 100% guaranteed

Farmers Defense Force officially announced the large-scale tractor action for Wednesday, February 19, today (Thursday) in a manifesto to his followers† According to the farmers' movement, this action, with the motto 'All brakes loose', is 100% guaranteed.

It will then be the third large-scale tractor campaign in The Hague within six months. The core of the protest is the data on which the cabinet and the House of Representatives have so far based their nitrogen plans. "We will not allow our families, our companies, our land and our livestock to be cleaned up with dubious figures and reports. And that is what this cabinet is basing itself on: the RIVM's castles in the air."

On Thursday 20 February, the Mesdag Dairy Fund will present its calculations of the nitrogen data from RIVM. The conclusions of the research team are, as much is already clear, completely different from those of the RIVM. The Mesdag Dairy Fund is now announcing the press conference with the title 'Cracked the nitrogen model'. 

Debate House of Representatives
At the same time as the presentation of the Mesdag Dairy Fund, there is also that Thursday a debate in the House of Representatives on the nitrogen problem† In this consultation with agriculture minister Carola Schouten, the central focus is on, among other things, the advice on grazing and fertilization of the Remkes Committee and the further implementation of agricultural measures in the nitrogen problem. 

FDF is furious about this: "FDF does not accept that the House wants to talk about our future on wrong and incomplete grounds." The organization believes that parliament can only discuss the nitrogen measures once the Mesdag calculations are known. FDF also emphasizes that the plans formulated by the Agricultural Collective are the best solution for the nitrogen problem. That is why FDF is coming to The Hague: "So that the whole of the Netherlands can see what is being done to us."
