"We're sick of the lies. We're sick of you trying to get rid of our jobs. It's not only farmers. It's the lorry drivers. It's the normal workers. Everybody is sick of politicians who have no idea what they are talking about, who have no education to tell us how our lifestyle should look." -one of the farmers on the A2 highway

(Germany) — [LifeSiteNews.com] Tens of thousands of protestors have taken to the streets all over Germany, temporarily blocking streets and highways during the large-scale farmers' protests in response to the government's plan to cut subsidies. (Screengrab image)
