The Christian Union also criticized the government’s aid package for agriculture and forestry. This tall German politician said: The response of the traffic light coalition to the farmers’ protests at the beginning of the year was too late and more than disappointing. This is by no means a serious financial compensation for canceling the benefits of agricultural diesel.
