You had to read again our article “France seeks changes to EU natural law to appease farmers” and answer this question: In other European countries farmers go on strike Where is it?
The answer is, To quote our article: “Farmers in Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, and Belgium have also taken to the streets, but farmers in France, Europe's largest agricultural producer, are facing further pressure from stricter pesticide restrictions than in neighboring countries. They are complaining that they are being punished.''
Farmers are also on strike in countries other than those mentioned above – Hans Werner Lorike says farmers in Denmark are also on strike, but there is so much snow that they have to drive tractors to the parliament building and block roads. I pointed out that it was not possible.
