Police chiefs, politicians and farming leaders have condemned Tuesday night’s rioting outside the main home of government minister Christianne van der Wal, who has been charged with getting nitrogen pollution under control.
Farmers used their tractors to break through the police line close to her home, and at one point the situation was so dangerous, police officers say they had to flee for their own safety.
Farmers also threw fireworks and dumped manure on the road. In one video, farmers blast manure toward police protecting the minister's home.
