Farmers Defense Force (FDF) is not allowed to demonstrate to King Willem-Alexander tomorrow. The farmers’ action group had planned a ‘tractor parade’ along Huis Ten Bosch and wanted to hand over a letter with a “cry for help” to the king.
But demonstrating at the king’s house is not allowed and the center is never accessible to “large vehicles that belong to demonstrations”, says the municipality of The Hague. The farmers can park on the Benoordenhoutseweg.
However, FDF has been offered that a small delegation can “present a letter” to the director of the Cabinet of the King, at Korte Vijverberg.
Buy-out scheme
The action group will demonstrate tomorrow morning against the cabinet’s current buyout scheme. “Little by little, the agricultural sector is being pushed back”, is in the call which FDF did last week. Minister Schouten wants to buy out farmers through a scheme in order to reduce nitrogen emissions.
FDF is calling on protesters to get on tractors tomorrow and to abide by corona rules.
