Dutch Farmers' Political Victory Shocks Establishment.

The Farmer-Citizen Movement, a Dutch farmers' protest party, has won provincial elections just four years after its founding, becoming the largest party in the Dutch senate. The party grew out of mass demonstrations against the Dutch government's environmental policies, which farmers saw as a threat to their livelihoods. The party's rise has thrown the Dutch government's ambitious environmental plans into doubt and is being watched closely by the rest of Europe. The movement has been supported by Donald Trump and Marine Le Pen, and some in the far right see it as embodying their ideas of elites using green policies to trample on the rights of individuals.
