The latest protest comes less than a day after Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, met with farming groups in a bid to appease them.

The protests have been peaceful so far, but there are concerns that they could escalate if the farmers’ demands are not met. The Belgian and Dutch authorities have urged the farmers to remove the roadblocks and engage in dialogue to resolve their grievances.
