German economy in 'freefall' as tractor farmers protest against government
LIGHTS flashing and horns blaring, 3,000 tractors trundled through Hanover in Germany bringing its streets to a gridlocked standstill.
Stepping down from his cab, arable farmer Axel Friehe told me his beleaguered nation’s economy is “breaking down”.

Wrong. By increasing cost of fuel, everything will get even more expensive. The government is spending like crazy on immigrants while forgetting who earns that money. This has to change.

The farmer was the only one to explain it properly, the MSM are calling it a subsidy, it's not , they don't have to pay a road tax because they don't normally use the road, imposing a tax for something you don't use is Theft by government.
That's what happens when you're in the EU. Endless bureaucracy and costs

Anything to the right of Marx is far right. They allowed Biden to bomb their gas line, then want to send more money to Ukraine that only winds up with more vanished Ukrainian males that look just like me? Now Zelindky just orders 50k in womens uniforms?

@elishafollet5347 I don’t know about German farmers but I know that US farmer use technology to help improve yields but the technology has switched to focus on precision because the amount that a farmer can invest in the crop to increase the yields has been leveling out at least in the last decade or so in the south eastern United States Alabama
We all know the real "agenda"...
As a farmer in uk we are having similar problems with our government but we just put up with it .I don’t think it’s anything to do with right wing politics making us feel unwanted
Exactly 500 years ago there been the german peasants war... Will history repeat?
Full support for farmers. Thank you .

@chrisblay....It's always the same ploy to defame people they're most afraid of. The current government in Germany goes one step further: they want to ban the AfD completely and are already calling them fascists! This clearly shows how afraid they are of the AfD because they are becoming more and more popular and votable among the German population. The "cry" for a new government/new elections is getting louder and louder among the people!
Respect for the farmers. Stop sending money to Ukraine!
Farmers, you are supported by me and my friends here in Malibu California. 💪
This is great, collective power will for those at top to do whats the people want.

At last some UK mainstream coverage apart from GB news. We need to highlight UK farmers as well.
basically all the farmers waking up in the world--- except north america 😬😑🫤
I salute the French. German as well as other farmers, I understand their problems. I am from Slovakia. Farmers in the former Czechoslovakia did not have and did not know such problems. There was socialism and the goals were food self-sufficiency and work for people in the countryside. With the fall of socialism, the conveniences of farmers disappeared. With the entry of Slovakia into the European Union, production fell by 20-40% according to commodities. Livestock production was terminated in many enterprises. Who will stop the dictates of officials from Brussels? Who is manipulating millions of people in Europe and the whole world?

cdu spokesman being interviewed... not only did the current government fail to manage their budget, the CDU governed decades before and initiated the process that has culminated now. The CDU and AFD also voted in favor of abolishing the subsidies
The US needs to pull out of NATO. Europe subsidizes failing ventures and social programs because the US subsidizes their defense, and then it’s ridiculed by Europe for not providing US citizens with free education, health etc.

Why so many Green
AFD only chance for Germany.
I stand with farmers 100% without a doubt but i don't like what this AFD party is trying to do. They are simply gain political movement by latching on to Farmer's protest. I would really like to keep these political parties out of this farmer protest just like Indian farmers did during "FARMERS PROTEST" in India. Remember "NO FARMER NO FOOD".
Loads of John Deere tractors using British crankshafts.
You know, I just don't understand why 27 Countries would give up their identifies to be part of a Union that is ran by one group of people. People that have no idea that each one of the Countries have different needs, and thinks all of those countries can be ran under one set of laws. I guess since I'm an American I'm not supposed to understand. However I do know one thing. I stand with the farmers.
Far right? LOL! We see through your virtue signaling.
Listen to the speech nobody wants to hear by Ronald Reagan he tell s of this happening way back in the 80s listen to the whole speech??
Eu was able to print Euros to subsidize petrol costs to farmers because Russia was paid in euros also, now they pay Yanks for petrol in dollars, meaning there is less room to maneuver, now they have to really work to earn dollars instead of just printing. Welcome to the new world 🤭
i remember long ago that farmers were only alowd to drive 8 miles a day not sure if germany was the same but in kilometres

The government should take money from farmers and hard-working people and send that money to Ukraine and give to the Middle East immigrants to support their children!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm not so sure that any farmers should receive government subsidies... It would seem not to create a fair marketplace - nationally or internationally. But why is the German economy in so much trouble? That's the issue. Regardless, Ukraine MUST be supported or else Russia will push further west... Slava Ukraini! 💪💪 M 🦘🏏😎

Screw the international marketplace. The CCP subsidised manufacturing to collapse western industry. No more free trade with countries that aren't on the same economic level.
