Thousands of tractors have blocked traffic in Berlin, Germany over plans to end tax breaks on diesel.
According to German police, it’s estimated that at least 3,000 tractors had already arrived for the protest and an estimated 2000 more were on the way.
Germany’s finance minister Christian Lindner, speaking to the protesting farmers on Monday said that there were no funds available for further subsidies.
According to Al Jazeera, the tractors blocked traffic in parts of the city and Berlin’s public transit agency reported major service delays.
About 10,000 people had registered for the demonstrations against Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s plans to cut subsidies, but Berlin police expect even more to attend.
