The Dutch farmers are revolting
Manage episode 358709276 series 2909505
The Netherlands held provincial, water board and island council elections on 15th March. The results sent waves through Dutch politics- essentially all the parties lost seats to the agro-populist BBB, the BoerBurgerBeweging or Farmer-Citizen Movement, which surged to almost 20 per cent of the vote from almost nothing. The councillors elected today will also elect the Dutch Senate, directly impacting the future of the national government.
