(Finance) – More protests in Germany by farmers. Long lines of tractors blocked the streets of the center of Berlin even today: in fact, thousands of farmers have returned to the German capital to protest against the cut in public subsidies in the sector wanted by the government of Olaf Scholz. Similar demonstrations had already been held across the country last week. German authorities, however, fear that far-right groups are trying to exploit the discontent by backing the protests that began in December.
Police identified several last week far-right supporters at a demonstration in Dresden. The extremists of the “Freie Sachsen” group waved royalist flags and brandished placards with images of politicians dressed as prisoners. On Saturday 13 January, Chancellor Scholz issued a warning against possible “extremists”.
According to data from the Berlin police headquarters, there were around 10 thousand demonstrators, with over five thousand tractors and agricultural vehicles. Representatives of the hunters and gods hauliers Germans.
