The farmer who rammed the door of the provincial government building at the Martinikerkhof in Groningen with his tractor on Monday afternoon wanted to give more force to the negotiations between the farmers and the provincial government about the stricter nitrogen policy. He was surprised that the province of Groningen, unlike some other provinces, stood firm in the actions to get the policy off the table: "We are not looking for violence or destruction. We want justice done to us and that simply takes too long". His action did not help. The province stuck to the policy and he can expect the police on his doorstep soon. Unlike many others, the farmer did not find his action very exciting: "It was not exciting. It is a very large tractor and it was only a small door". After the door had been forced open, several activists forced their way into the provincial government building, but were confronted by the police. One farmer was injured in the skirmishes. ► Do you want more news and stories about Groningen?
