According to Van den Oever, the intention is for the farmers’ protest to take place in a meadow, on the property of a farmer who has given permission for this. “We can park all the tractors there,” he says.
The farmer’s foreman says the protesters are “running in tonight” so that they “will not hinder the walkers.” And that the intention is “to have a nice party.” He calls on participants to be present before 5 a.m., because “afterwards the whole thing is closed.” “We don’t want the Four Days Marches to be bothered by us.”y
Finish
It is not clear what the municipality of Mook en Middelaar thinks of the intention of the farmer activists. They were not immediately available for substantive comment.
It was previously decided that the activists may also be present at the finish in Nijmegen, with fifty people and one tractor. That is the other location where protest takes place. Recently, farmers’ activists in several places in the country have been protesting against the government’s nitrogen policy.
