As Europe seeks to address the threat of climate change, it's imposing more rules on farmers like Ubels. The FDF, whose symbol is a crossed double pitchfork, was formed in 2019 and has ties to similar groups in the EU.
The Farmers Defense Force (FDF) plans a June 4 demonstration in Brussels, aiming to rally 100,000 people and influence the EU parliamentary elections amidst farmers' discontent.
Ubels expresses dissatisfaction with mainstream political parties' inaction, leading to the rise of radical right-wing groups like the FDF in response to increased regulations and competition.
Ubels and the FDF criticize the bureaucracy imposed by the EU and national officials, highlighting farmers' struggles in complying with regulations affecting their farming practices.
