Europe farmers protest: Czech tractors dump manure in Prague streets

Czech farmers dumped manure in front of government offices and blocked Prague streets with tractors on Thursday as they renewed demands for more support and a halt to cheap imports to the European Union (EU).

Police said one person was arrested as a result of the protest.
Agriculture Minister Marek Vyborny responded to the protest by reiterating that the Czech government would not submit to pressure.

Farmers across the EU have taken to the streets to call for the removal of restrictions put in place under a Green Deal plan to tackle climate change, and to demand that customs duties are reimposed on farm products from Ukraine.
