German Farmers Will Take To the Streets Again on Aug. 26

Farmers in Germany are expected to take to the streets again, protesting against their own government’s and EU’s policies. A national rally will be staged in Berlin on August 26. Organizers regard it as a “365 day” demonstration, if nothing is done. Among charges brought up is the one pointing to the lethal mix of green policies and the EU and government’s inaction against the ongoing fertilizer/diesel price inflation, as main causes for the drop of grain harvest by 60% (!) in Germany this summer. A lot of shelves in the supermarkets right in the middle of Europe will be empty this coming winter season.
