  • Germany

German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck said on Friday he regretted the lack of discussion when farmers angered by planned subsidy cuts blocked him from disembarking a ferry.

"Protesting in Germany is a valuable asset. Coercion and violence destroy this asset," he said in a statement after the protest on Thursday night. (Writing by Linda Pasquini, Editing by Rachel More)
