Gelderland farmers protest with tractors in protest against nitrogen rules
Farmers in Gelderland are taking action today with a large-scale tractor protest against the nitrogen rules. Several roads are blocked, causing traffic disruptions.
Tractors are parked on highways and provincial roads in various locations in Gelderland, including near Barneveld, Ede, and Nijkerk. The farmers are protesting against the current and planned nitrogen measures, which they say threaten their livelihoods.
“We are being pushed to the brink,” says a farmer from Barneveld. “The rules are becoming increasingly strict, and we see no future for our farms.”
The police are present at the protest locations to ensure public order and safety. They are advising motorists to avoid the affected areas and to follow the diversions. Traffic information services report notable traffic delays.
The farmers are demanding a dialogue with the government about the nitrogen issue and are calling for more realistic and workable solutions. They argue that the current measures are based on incorrect calculations and do not take into account the specific circumstances of each farm.
The protest is expected to last throughout the day. It is unclear how long the road blockades will remain in place. The farmers have announced that they will continue their action until their concerns are heard and addressed.
