Police operation ends protest against Robert Habeck
Around 30 officers were on duty, said a police spokesman. They also used pepper spray. Nothing was known of any injuries. The federal government and politicians from the Greens, FDP and CDU criticized the protest. The farmers are outraged because of the traffic light coalition’s planned reduction in subsidies.
