An Italian report about how what is happening in the Netherlands and Belgium is alarming, as the EU regulation that have steered all this turmoil is slowly spreading:

Little or nothing is said about it in Italy, but what has been happening for several months now in the Netherlands and Belgium will most likely also affect our country in the coming years. Thousands of farmers and ranchers are protesting against the new environmental measures envisaged by governments which, claiming they want to hit CO2 emissions, are preparing laws that will hit the agricultural and livestock sector hard.

The latest manifestation chronologically, it took place on 11 March in The Hague where, despite the ban by the authorities, more than ten thousand people gathered to protest against the Dutch government’s plans to reduce nitrogen emissions in a long column of tractors which crossed the streets in the area. The protest, organized by Farmers Defense Force (Fdf) and Samen voor Nederland (Together for the Netherlands), takes place a few days before the regional elections to be held on Wednesday. As a sign of rebellion, many producers displayed upside down national flags and banners with the slogan “No farmers, no food”.
