German farmers are taking to the barricades due to a lack of state support and plan to completely paralyze the country on January 8 after the strikes in recent days. Krone+ discovered how the Austrian farmers are doing and whether there will be an uprising here too.
Thousands of tractors blocked the streets in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, and in Stuttgart, Trier and other major German cities, German farmers also expressed their displeasure with blockades.
