Organisation: BoerBurgerBeweging (BBB) is a national political party in the Netherlands, part of no eu political group.

You can reach them here:

The BBB originates from large-scale farmers protests against government policies seeking to control high emission levels, particularly of nitrogen, during the stikstofcrisis (nitrogen crisis). The party has both left- and right-wing positions like many populist parties but should be considered centre-right. The party claims that national policies are made by the urban elite, ignoring the needs of people outside the urban centres and particularly the needs of farmers. As such, the main issues of BBB are the reform of government to bring it closer to citizens, environmental policies that favour farmers, the general interest of non-urban citizens and regions. Their values of solidarity and tolerance lead them to occupy policy positions to increase the circumstances of refugees, to call for understanding of COVID-19 and vaccine sceptics, and support of Ukraine. It is a little eurosceptic, calling for limiting the EU to trade issues to protect national interests, climate, and human rights in trade agreements.
