The Netherlands’ agricultural minister Henk Staghouwer has been forced to resign following widespread protests from Dutch farmers over his radical climate agenda that seeks to destroy their livelihoods.

Staghouwer was leading the Dutch agriculture ministry’s climate policy that involved confiscating farms in a forced government buy-out scheme.

In the wake of the huge protests from farmers, Staghouwer has now been forced to step down.

He told the Dutch cabinet that pushback from farmers had meant he would not be able to meet a September deadline for rolling out the government’s radical green policy, the AP reported.

The climate agenda involves cutting nitrogen emissions from the nation’s farming sector to the point where it made it impossible for farms to continue operating.

The initiative includes a $24.2 billion scheme to buy out local farmers and facilitate the transition away from intensive farming practices.

The push provoked mass demonstrations by farmers across the continent.

Protest? Well, isn't that special.

Agenda 21/30. The rich against everyone else.

Whats the opinion of the general populace in the netherlands for this? Are enough of them just brainwashed into thinking farmers are bad?

They probably did the same trick there as here: use their liberal media to divide people, so they can villify the farmers as hitlers who drive coal rolling diesels, so they deserve what they get, and the alternative vote for the conservative is unthinkable.

Protests can be ignored.
Assassinations of guilty officials are less likely to be ignored.
Just saying.

Massive Farmer-Citizen Anti-WEF Victory in Netherlands - New Party gains 15% of Senate

A farmers' party has stunned Dutch politics, and is set to be the biggest party in the upper house of parliament after provincial elections.

The Farmer-citizen movement (BBB) was only set up in 2019 in the wake of widespread farmers' protests.

But with most votes counted they are due to win 15 of the Senate's seats with almost 20% of the vote.

"This isn't normal, but actually it is! It's all normal citizens who voted," said leader Caroline van der Plas.

The BBB aims to fight government plans to slash nitrogen emissions harmful to biodiversity by dramatically reducing livestock numbers and buying out thousands of farms.

But its appeal has spread rapidly beyond its rural heartland, on a populist platform that represents traditional, conservative Dutch social and moral values.

Shocked by the scale of their success, Ms van der Plas told supporters that voters normally stayed at home if they lost faith in politics: "But today people have shown they can't stay at home any longer. We won't be ignored any more."

I suspect that democracy is allowed to function only to the degree that it give legitimacy to the forces who really control things.

So they can allow Dutch farmers to think they have some representation, as long as the end result remains what the global elite wanted anyway.

The world's largest exporter of food?

More like Europe's largest exporter. US is the largest exporter I thought.

That is why demarchy is better than democracy. Ancient Athens sure as hell thought so.

Right, I know they export a lot, but not more than the US.
