SOT, Protester (German): "This is not about talking about peanuts. We want to show that we are fed up to be the scapegoat for everything that’s negative. We are responsible for climate change, for the dirty air, we are blamed for the infested groundwater. This can’t go on like this."
C/U Banner reading 'Thursdays for farmers' *CUTAWAY*
SOT, Protester (German): "My son, who has nothing to do with agriculture, came with the tractor convoy today in the morning. He told me that they received a lot of support from the people on their way, who raised their thumbs. So, please, take it seriously, the people don’t see us so critical like the politicians do."
