Not in modern Germany yet, no. Their protests are rather small in comparison and often met with much larger anti protests.
However, the far right party AfD has been gaining lots of votes over the last few years. It will be interesting to see whether these protests are the beginning of a reversal of that trend.
- shp0ngle 3y agoAren't there farmer protests in Germany right now?
- mschuster91 3y agoThese were ridiculously small in actual numbers, they were just effective at creating traffic chaos since they used tractors.
- shp0ngle 3y agoAh ok. Hard to tell from abroad.
- patates 3y agoWhile supported by the right, farmers had a very concrete reason to make the protests. It's actually very weird because normally right-wing ideology should not support tax cuts for agriculture on paper. These days it's more like supporting all the opposite of what the other side is doing.
- jamil7 3y agoThe farmer protests are not necessarily right-wing protests, they represent a mixed bag of ideologies and a response to proposed changes in increased regulation and loss of subsidies. Right-wing and conservative groups attached themselves to these as a quick publicity stunt.
