Farmers in the Netherlands, meanwhile, formed their own version of Canada’s “Freedom Convoy,” blocking highways with tractors, spraying manure on government buildings, and setting bales of hay on fire to protest the government’s recent mandate to cut emissions that farmers say could force some farms to shutter.
Roughly 40,000 protesters gathered in central Netherlands to protest plans announced last month to curb the emissions of nitrogen and ammonia, Fox News reported.
Farmers say they are being unfairly targeted by the government mandates while other industries, such as aviation, construction and transportation, are also contributing to emissions and face fewer rules. https://www.worldtribune.com/real-insurrections-rock-netherlands-overthrow-sri-lankan-government/
