🛳🚫✊German Farmers Protest Agriculture Laws Made by EU🇩🇪🚜🌾

A collective of farmers, discontented with cost-cutting measures affecting Germany's agriculture, prevented the vice chancellor of the EU country from disembarking a ferry on Thursday.

Germany's economy and climate minister, Robert Habeck, encountered obstacles preventing him from disembarking the vessel. Authorities stated that farmers obstructed a pier in Schluettsiel along the North Sea coast, compelling Habeck to return to the small island of Hooge, where he was vacationing.

Last month, Chancellor Olaf Scholz faced substantial criticism from farmers following his administration's unpopular decision to reduce subsidies in the agricultural sector. Farmers organized a protest in Berlin during that time and have committed to staging additional demonstrations in the future.

"Furthermore, to the same degree in which the division of labour increases, is the labour simplified. The special skill of the labourer becomes worthless. He becomes transformed into a simple monotonous force of production, with neither physical nor mental elasticity. His work becomes accessible to all; therefore competitors press upon him from all sides. Moreover, it must be remembered that the more simple, the more easily learned the work is, so much the less is its cost to production, the expense of its acquisition, and so much the lower must the wages sink – for, like the price of any other commodity, they are determined by the cost of production. Therefore, in the same manner in which labour becomes more unsatisfactory, more repulsive, do competition increase and wages decrease."

🇩🇪 A mass strike by farmers, lorry drivers and train drivers continues in Germany. — @rybar

The protesters are expressing their dissatisfaction with the budget plans of the "traffic light coalition" and are demanding that diesel subsidies and vehicle tax exemptions be maintained.

▪️ Passenger train drivers from the GDL union joined the protests on Wednesday: they are demanding a pay rise, a reduction in working hours from 38 to 35 hours a week and the full continuation of the railway development programme. At the moment the railways are running on a reduced timetable and 80% of intercity trains have been cancelled.

▪️ While the Western media write about the "collapse of the German economy", the German authorities make no attempt to resolve the situation. But they do not miss the opportunity to shift the responsibility for the escalation of the protests to their political opponents in the person of the Alternative for Germany party and to intimidate the citizens that "for the first time since 1945 a right-wing extremist could come to power".

Incidentally, a strike by cultural workers is taking place alongside the protests: they are demanding an end to the repression of those who do not support the Israeli side in the current conflict. More than 650 people are said to have joined the movement. And with the protests still three days away, it is not out of the question that the discontented will become more active on other issues - the largest rallies are expected in Berlin on 15 January.

According to the Prime Minister, the United Kingdom will also transfer £2.5 billion of military assistance in 2024-2025, including large batch of UAVs.

“This will be the largest batch of reconnaissance, strike and sea drones that has ever been transferred to Ukraine by a foreign state,” he said.

Once again members of the CPGB-ML have been arrested for selling literature and handing out leaflets in support of the Palestinian resistance.
The party has come into the eye of the British state and they are trying to bully them into silence.

Now is not the time to back down we all need to raise our fists and speak out against Imperialism!

Victory to the Palestinian resistance!

Here is footage of police yesterday, pathetically arresting British communists who fight for Palestinian liberation

ARREST UPDATE:

The police spent several hours today ransacking the home of one of our arrested comrades. He lives with his parents, who were left to clean up the mess. They have been told their son MAY be released this evening.

The behaviour of police arresting under the Terrorism Act seems to be an order of magnitude more belligerent and aggressive than when they were arresting our members for 'hate crimes'.

Before the complete gentrification of the larger teams such as Arsenal.
Since the inception of the premier league it has created global brands of these once working class clubs.
