tens of thousands of people demonstrated for an Agriculture – Minister Julia Klöckner was also “fun” involved. The quote is now of Trouble.

Berlin – tens of thousands of people have demonstrated in Berlin on Saturday for more environmental protection and animal welfare in agriculture. A Signal, that is, of course, arrived in the Federal government, and the diplomatic reaction apparently is not easy: an Interview of Federal agriculture Minister Julia Klöckner from the Sunday evening now, in the aftermath, some of the vertebrae.

Klöckner had taken in the ARD Broadcast “report from Berlin” to the demands of the protesters. Not surprisingly, Klöckner defended their policy – for example, with reference to the, in their view, “the most stringent animal protection law on the topic of the castration of Piglets”, which brought the Federal government is on the way. However, this has been recently postponed by two years.

On the question of presenter Oliver Köhr, whether they feel themselves crushed between the fronts of the Agricultural Lobby and the environmentalists, replied Klöckner, however, a bit flippant – and perhaps even a little frustration with sound.

Klöckner sees “a bit of Gaudi” in the Agricultural-large demo – and conceded attack from a German TV-Moderator

“I find the Assembly quite properly and am pleased – because this Demo for years, no matter who is the agricultural Minister, no matter what developments there have been”, the Minister said with a view to the Big event. And added: “It is also a bit of Gaudi and, above all, escalation is here, and that’s fine in a democracy.”

This is a quote used another ARD-Journalist, “Monitor”Moderator Georg Restle, in a Tweet for a hard attack. “For Julia Klöckner protests of farmers against the agricultural policy of ‘Gaudi’. Shows how seriously she takes her Job,“ he wrote on the short message service.

So the debate can be ended – Klöckner repeated on Monday afternoon, however, for a counter-attack and threw Restle “propaganda”. “Dear Mr. Restle, just because you answered for the Public work, you will have a special responsibility for striking the balance”, in Klöckner the Tweet. “You should then please take the correct classification, and the whole quote. You make aware of mood by selection. A pity.“

Klöckner costs had made also elsewhere in the Interview, Statements which could be interpreted as indirect criticism of the protesters. “There’s 300 horsepower of tugs in the process, a quarter of a million Euro cost – you can’t now say that the protesters are to benefit from Agricultural subsidies,” said Klockner.

on the Other hand, the Eco had been farmers with “800 pigs” represent in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, you can call something “Agro-factory”. Refers to the statements as evidence that conventional and organic farming are not opposites with irreconcilable needs.

To turn the Demonstration for Agricultural, had called a coalition of farmers, animal and environmental activists on Saturday. At the agricultural Ministers conference in the foreign Ministry handed a protest note. It said that “the agricultural work on the Fields and fields and in the stables was something very valuable, and especially worthy of protection”. The Alliance also calls for the negotiations on the future EU agricultural funding more climate protection and nature conservation, more support for smaller farms and animal welfare.
