In protest against the planned cuts to agro-subsidies, farmers plan to block 95 percent of all highway access roads in Saxony on Monday. The actions have been announced for a period from 5 am to 5 pm, said Robert Erdmann, spokesman for the "Land schafft Verbindung" association on Friday. At the same time, the farmers are distancing themselves from actions planned by actors such as the Free Saxons in the wake of the farmers' protests. "We have nothing to do with that," said Erdmann.
"In Saxony, we attach great importance to ensuring that everything we do is within a reasonable legal framework and is done in cooperation with the police," he said. The blockades of the highway ramps are registered demonstrations. The farmers see no other way to be heard by politicians.
