500 tractors drove through the center of Berlin on the day of the start of the Green Week in protest against the tightening of environmental laws. On January 18, environmentalists and animal rights activists will take part in the action.

On the day of the opening of the largest international agricultural and food fair “Green Week 2020”, on Friday, January 17, farmers returned to protest the streets of German cities. They oppose tightening climate and animal welfare policies and require a discussion of the federal government’s agricultural package.
