- About 4,500 people, mainly farmers, gathered at a large conference centre in Odense to express anger and concern.
- The government was the stated target of their frustration, but the gathering also exposed pressure on Venstre.
About 4,500 people, most of them farmers, gathered at a vast conference centre in Odense to let their anger echo through the building. The crowd was large enough to fill a venue that could have hosted a handball finals tournament.
The government had been the target of the gathering’s anger. Yet the political fallout appeared to land heavily on Venstre, the Danish party associated with the farming community. The event reflected the growing frustration and uncertainty among farmers, while putting pressure on the party.
