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.
