Protests Against Habeck's Ferry Blockade Lead to Single Investigation

German authorities drop most cases linked to farmers' demonstration over subsidy cuts, citing lack of evidence and poor video quality.

  • A year after farmers protested against Robert Habeck at the Schlüttsiel ferry dock, only one person remains under investigation for resisting police orders.
  • The protest, involving 250–300 demonstrators, forced Habeck's ferry to turn back, delaying his return to the mainland by several hours.
  • The farmers were protesting planned cuts to agricultural subsidies announced by the government.
  • Authorities cited poor-quality video footage and a lack of recorded personal details as reasons for dropping most investigations.
  • Habeck, who considered leaving politics after the incident, has not filed any complaints regarding the demonstration.
