The German farmers' protests reveal a serious climate political crisis.
There has been a “peasant revolt” in Germany since Monday: in protest against the removal – partially withdrawn – of the subsidy for so-called agricultural diesel, there are numerous tractor blockades.
This seems strange at first glance: the same professional group that survived the last few years of crisis with incredible percentage increases in income is protesting a comparatively insignificant tax increase. A strange image for outsiders: a group of rich and highly subsidized millionaires are blocking the republic with monstrous tractors costing several hundred thousand euros because they apparently don't know what else to do.
