Dutch PM urges farmers to keep tractors off highways after deadly protests
Rob Jetten called on farmers to avoid national highways after anti-environmental-policy demonstrations disrupted traffic and led to accidents that killed two people.
Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten has asked farmers to keep their tractors off national highways following protests against environmental measures that snarled traffic and caused serious accidents.
The demonstrations against environmental rules resulted in major traffic disruption, and the related accidents claimed two lives.
Jetten's appeal comes as authorities cope with the fallout from the road blockages and the fatal incidents linked to the protests.
