Farmers protested in Antwerp and surrounding cities

🇧🇪 Farmers protested in Antwerp and surrounding cities Thousands of Belgian farmers protested against the government’s “climate policy“ to reduce nitrogen emissions, which is “leading to their ruin“. Hundreds of tractors blocked streets and paralyzed traffic in the center of Antwerp. “The Belgian Farmer Defense Forces“ are also unhappy that Flanders is willing to grant the chemical company Ineos a permit to build an ethane cracking plant in the port of Antwerp. It is alleged that the Flanders authorities “treat agriculture and industry unevenly in measures to reduce (emissions of) nitrogen.“ The FDF accuses Antwerp’s chairman and mayor Bart de Weever, as well as his party colleague, Flanders’ environment minister Zuhal Demir, of this. #3 Our channel: Node of Time EN Источник: Node of Time EN
