Geretsried/Wolfratshausen: The budget discussions are still ongoing: With protest actions on motorway access roads, the farmers' association wants to send a clear signal against the traffic light policy.
Blockade remained unsuccessful: A blockade campaign was actually planned in the district at the A95 motorway junction in Wolfratshausen - with 15 vehicles.
However, the district office had banned them, citing a “risk assessment by the police and traffic authorities”.
Farmers don't give up: demonstration on the A95
Instead, farmers and tradesmen were allocated a nearby parking space on the B11.
In this area the speed will be reduced to 50 km/h, but traffic should not be blocked.
District office spokeswoman Marlies Peischer explained that those responsible had agreed on this in advance by telephone for security reasons.
A ban on blockades at the exit prevented farmers from closing the Wolfratshausen driveway
There were still protests, but the effect was somewhat lost due to the blockade ban, explained Peter Fichtner, district chairman of the farmers' association in the district and organizer.
The Wolfratshausen police reported that there were 15 vehicles in Wolfratshausen and three in Beuerberg-Seeshaupt.
For some, the “good protest”, as farmer and craftsman Georg Herzinger from Egling called the action in an interview, was not enough.
They drove on with their bulldogs to the driveway near Schäftlarn, Munich district - 17 of them.
“Because the block processing was approved every 15 minutes.” According to the interview on site, the aim was that they wanted their needs to be taken seriously, including in the upper echelons of politics.
Demand: “A real change for all parties”
For entrepreneur Martin Groß from Geretsried, “things can’t go on like this anymore”.
Like everyone present, he called for “a real change in all parties.”
Martin Aidn, a farmer from Ascholding, hopes that the effort will be worth it.
“I would have liked a few more participants.”
But at least there is positive feedback from the population, Herzinger was pleased.
“They were even provided with snacks and doughnuts,” said Aidn.

Sparse participation - blockade ban an example of German bureaucracy
Fichtner's conclusion: Participation was sparser than hoped, the campaign itself went smoothly.
As far as the mood among farmers is concerned, the district office's decision caused a certain amount of dissatisfaction among farmers.
They “do not understand why blocking access roads was approved in other districts and not in ours.”
For Fichtner, the ban on the requested blockade is an example of German bureaucracy: “The Interior Ministry had allowed the protest, but the district office can still decide differently.
We expected something different,” he emphasized.
