German economy in 'freefall' as tractor farmers protest against government

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!

    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?
