Özdemir: No further concessions to farmers
In the discussion about subsidy cuts, Federal Agriculture Minister Özdemir rejected further demands from farmers. He could no longer accommodate the farmers because this would have to be counter-financed. At the same time, Özdemir differentiated on ZDF between a legitimate protest by farmers and actions like the one on Thursday evening against Economics Minister Habeck. Anyone who now believes that they can blackmail politicians or make an impression with fantasies of subversion will see that the majority and politicians are clearly against it. Meanwhile, Federal President Steinmeier has expressed his horror at the escalation of a protest against Habeck on the North Sea coast. It was also a shock for him to see a minister on a private trip being intimidated by an aggressive crowd. Steinmeier warned in “Bild” that this should not be tolerated. Demonstrations are part of democracy and criticism of the government is legitimate, said the head of state. However, calls for hatred and violence exceeded the limits of what was justified. | Jan 6, 2024 12:35 am
