it looks that both sides have some arguments, they are just not listening to each other. I bet the roads would be quite destroyed after so many trucks passed them.
I hope that the conflict will be resolved soon.

Pieter Interesting this presentation you have most kindly presented. For in this case, the Agriculture Minister is extremely wrong. For some time to the present, the use of high technology by Dutch Farmers has been very well known. For many years, farming technology in agriculture has been blamed very rightly so, of a high degree of ground water polution by means of run off. For the necessary use of pesticides and fertilizers such as animal wast and commercial pesticides to increase yield has for many years been necessary with the then farming technics in use at that time. That is now not necessary. dutchreview.com/news/innovation/how-the-netherlands-remains-second-largest-agriculture-exporter-in-the-world/Karl |

Karl,
The Agriculture Minister is part of a Christian party with a large farmers (Agriculture) following, membership and voting pattern. The larger Christian Democratic CDA and the party of the minister the Christian Union are agricultural parties. She didn’t spoke rational but opportunistic. So, you are right. The CDA and CU are pro-agriculture and less concerned with the climate. That is a fact.
The agricultural sector is a bastion of the Christian Democracy and the CDA and the Christian Union are rural parties with a Social conservative following, membership and voters base. People from villages, hamlets, provincial rural towns and more rural agglomerations.
The grudge of the farmers was especially against the secularist, centrist and Social liberal (progressive) D66 party which wants to decrease the Diary farming with 50%. So from the present 100% diary farming companies (farms) to 50% of the present existing farms.
To limitize the environmental pollution in that sector, because Dutch farmers produce a lot of Greenhouse gasses. Greenleft and the Party of Animals agree with D66. Geert Wilders PVV, Thierry Baudet, the Protestant SGP, the Christian Union, the CDA and the VVD of prime minister Mark Rutte Support the farmers.
