Farmers' protests broke out during a visit by Economics Minister Robert Habeck to Seligenthal in Thuringia. Demonstrators with tractors blocked an access route to a factory belonging to the nougat manufacturer Viba.
Posters read: “Too much is too much” or “traffic lights ruin agriculture” According to the ministry, the Green politician was already at work. There have been protests nationwide for weeks because the federal government wants to abolish tax breaks for agricultural diesel.
