Farm activists possibly responsible for rail sabotage

NOS15 September · 18:051 week ago

Evidence suggests farm activists caused recent rail sabotage, with online groups discussing pipe placements on Prinsjesdag. ProRail reported 35 disruptions from objects on tracks, though no group claimed responsibility. Major organizations like Agractie and Farmers Defence Force denied involvement, while LTO Netherlands condemned the acts as exceeding protest rights. Police are investigating farmer sympathizers as a scenario. Although life-threatening, safety systems prevented accidents, despite one train hitting an object near Steenwijk. Extra surveillance is now in place.
