"German Farmers' Ferry Blockade Against Vice Chancellor Sparks Outrage and Concerns"

German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck was prevented from leaving a ferry by protesting farmers, following the government's partial retraction on plans to cut agricultural subsidies. The protest, which involved 250-300 people and saw attempts to board the ferry, was widely condemned by government and opposition figures for violating democratic principles. The government had proposed subsidy cuts to fill a budget gap, but faced backlash from the agricultural sector, leading to a partial reversal of the plans. Despite the government's concession, the German Farmers Association stated the changes were insufficient and planned further protests.
