So our party just expressed support for Belgian farmers’ protests. They are protesting for the same reasons the Dutch farmers have been protesting in recent years: nitrogen emissions which have to be pushed back by EU law.

In The Netherlands the protests have been taken over by far right movements and big agro corps and I have to admit the left shit the bed when it comes to offering solutions. But, the things the farmers do are actually bad for the environment. Most of the emissions are caused by mega factory livestock companies which mostly export their products anyway. And they make up a tiny percentage of total trade in The Netherlands and probably over here as well.

I just hope we don’t support thing for the sake of remaining popular.
