Mark van den Oever, leader of the Farmers Defence Force (FDF), instructed members in a private Facebook group to erase data from their phones in anticipation of police raids related to hay bale protests.

This warning follows recent FDF-linked actions, including arson at roadways and track sabotage, which caused significant disruption across the Netherlands.
