German farmers launched a week-long protest on January 8 against plans to phase out agricultural subsidies, causing road blockades across the country. Convoys of tractors and trucks, adorned with protest banners, disrupted morning rush hour traffic in sub-zero temperatures. Farmers, fearing bankruptcy due to the removal of tax breaks, vowed to block major routes. Last week's farmer backlash led Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition to unexpectedly modify subsidy cut plans, reducing the agricultural diesel tax break gradually. Despite government changes, farmers persisted, demanding continued support to prevent the collapse of their businesses.
