Official narrative
What protests?
Corporate media is still waiting for a masked single guy with a swastika flag to get the right angle before they can cover it.
Background
Netherlands is Europe's biggest meat exporter, with the highest density of livestock in Europe – more than four times that of the UK or France – with more than 100 million cattle, chickens and pigs in total.
The government policy being protested is a 25 billion Euro investment in “reducing levels of nitrogen pollution” by paying some Dutch livestock farmers to relocate or exit the industry. In real terms, this ultimately means reducing the number of pigs, chickens and cows by about thirty per cent.[1]
