“I thought we had agreed something in Stroe on stage,” Van den Oever said in the video. He also denounces that, despite the fact that they “are all in an app group”, there has been no consultation. “LTO jumps out of the boat again.”
He finds it unimaginable that the agricultural and horticultural organization would do that. “They all have big mouths, but when it comes down to it, one phone call from Rutte is enough to wriggle that garden hose spine of theirs all over so that they can sit with that fat ass on the plush.”
Action group Agractie announced earlier on Thursday that no final decision has yet been made about participating in a meeting with Remkes. This will not change on Thursday evening, chairman Erik Luiten outlines. He first wants clarity that the conversation “will be about the content.” He is now not convinced that that space is actually offered.
With regard to the actions that have caused dangerous situations and accidents on the highways in recent days, Luiten says that he understands the frustration, but “endangering people can never be the intention.” “We regularly call for action, but within the framework of the law.”
LTO leader Van der Tak previously called on farmers to refrain from “extra-legal actions.” According to him, these “only cause a loss of support and the need to defend the sector every time.” Van den Oever, in turn, said that “perhaps we need to step it up a bit” from FDF. “The country is on fire and this way it will stay on fire.”
