A day after the fatal accident in a traffic jam caused by a procession of tractors, Extinction Rebellion activists blocked the A12 in The Hague for the umpteenth time. The farmers do not feel responsible for the accident, and XR believes that everything must give way to the ‘climate crisis’.
A group of forty climate activists from Extinction Rebellion (XR) has blocked access to the A12 in The Hague. After two people died on Friday at the end of a traffic jam during a farmers' protest, XR ‘considerably thought about’ going ahead with the action, ‘but the climate crisis is too important’.
Getting angry at the farmers who blocked highways again on Friday? Don't, says well-known criminal defense lawyer Willem Jebbink. Because, according to him, it is the authorities who have failed. "The police should have facilitated better."
