German Farmers' Protests Spark Nationwide Disruption
German farmers are protesting planned reductions in diesel subsidies, causing nationwide disruptions with tractors blocking highways and city centers. The protests stem from dissatisfaction with the economic landscape for farmers, including pressure from discounters and fluctuating world markets. The government aims to save funds repurposed from COVID-era loans, but the move was ruled unlawful by Germany's constitutional court. The protests have garnered support from various political parties, with concerns raised about potential far-right infiltration of the demonstrations.
