That’s what a police spokesperson said. Stroeboeren protested against the cabinet’s nitrogen plans. They drive a lot of vehicles on the highways when it is prohibited.
The police focuses on people who create dangerous situations. It would be impossible to track down the drivers of thousands of tractors.
attempted assault
Yesterday the police imposed several hundred fines. The police mainly intervened with the extremists. Farmers have been fined for a variety of reasons, and the size of the fines varies.
For example, the spokesperson said that tractors that collide with traffic on the A7 will not be fined for unauthorized driving on the highway, but will be fined for attempted aggravated assault. The fine for driving a tractor on the highway is 410 euros.
According to the spokesman, the police wanted to respect the farmers’ basic right to demonstrate. “But agreements made, such as not driving a tractor on the highway, have been largely ignored.”
blockages
The spokesperson emphasized that the show in Stroe went well. “It didn’t quite fit the way people came and went home.”
After the farmers’ demonstration in Stroe, Gelderland, highways were closed to traffic in many parts of the Netherlands. This happened, for example, on the A6 near Emmeloord in the Noordoostpolder. Shortly afterwards, traffic on the highway in Lelystad was blocked. The blocks were removed by the police after a while.
Justice Minister Dilan Yeşilgöz announced yesterday that farmers who break the rules can still expect fines if possible. “My main message to them is: our laws apply to everyone.”
“Many farmers have made their voices heard by adhering to the rules and agreements,” said the minister. “Many farmers abused it. They probably think they can get away with it. I hope we live in a country where that’s not the case.”
accident with tractor
The exact cause of the accident in which three people on a tractor were injured yesterday on the A12 near Ede is not yet known. Police say the full investigation into the accident is still ongoing. A truck was also involved in the accident.
Two women aged 40 and 17 and a man aged 40 from the municipality of Bodegraven-Reeuwijk were injured. The police do not share what they have done.
De Gelderlander reported that while the tractor was driving on the highway, its bucket was hanging too high and as a result collided with a bridge. Eyewitnesses said the truck that passed the tractor may have gone off the road.
