This protest across Europe is uniting the people!

Just check out some of the clip below.

Here’s the countries involved:

And those behind the curtain don’t like it!

So, Deep State goons are now arresting those farmers and taking their equipment.

It was only a matter of time…

Even the Belgian farmers are showing up in Brussels to give their support along with the French and Germans.

And they’re even taking down the EU flag.

I love it!

ABC Business reports:

Tractors are being used to block highways across France and Belgium as farmers’ protests gain momentum throughout Europe.

Protesters are angry about rising costs, environmental policies and cheap food imports.
