Original Note:
Raising taxes on fuel is not eliminating subsides. Diesel for farm use is currently is taxed at a lower rate and the proposed change would increase taxes on it. There is no fuel subsidy and it is misleading to even use that word. https://www.cleanenergywire.org/news/cuts-german-farmers-diesel-fuel-subsidies-largely-justified-economists https://www.lemonde.fr/en/europe/article/2024/01/15/german-farmers-protest-against-fuel-subsidy-cuts-in-berlin_6434037_143.html
