German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck has warned about the farmers' protests being hijacked by extreme forces and called for democracy to be protected.
Habeck, who is also economy minister, said in a video released by the ministry on social media on Monday: "There are calls circulating with fantasies of a coup. Extremist groups are forming, nationalist symbols are being openly displayed."
"It is becoming clear that something has started to slip in recent years, which is limiting legitimate democratic protest and freedom of expression," he added.
Nationwide farmers' protests began on Monday with blockades at motorway slip roads and tractor convoys in cities. Last Thursday, angry protesters prevented Habeck from leaving a ferry on the North Sea coast.
