Overview
- Grassroots groups Land schafft Verbindung and Freie Bauern plan actions from 7:00 to 17:00 at 32 on‑ramps in Mecklenburg‑Vorpommern, with additional sites announced in Brandenburg.
- The Autobahn operator expects roughly 45 ramps to be affected across both states, with delays forecast in Brandenburg between 6:00 and 20:00 and detours recommended.
- Local assembly authorities require on‑ramps to remain usable, keeping a three‑meter lane clear and allowing up to 20 agricultural vehicles per ramp, with about six anticipated at each site.
- Police are assessing public‑safety risks and say autobahn exits may not be blocked, warning that further restrictions or bans could be issued.
- Major farm associations decline to join the blockades, while Agriculture Minister Till Backhaus backs stricter import labeling as smaller groups vow to continue opposing the Mercosur deal.
