Nothing to cheer for here. The protest is mostly led by medium to large business owners that are worried about their profits. Workers don’t own heavy machinery like trucks and tractors they can use to block streets (and if they did it with their employers equipment they would be in instant trouble).
Far-right protesters have happily latched onto these protests, flying the same slogans that were seen at anti-immigration rallies in the last years (like Irish Lives Matter).
The government has announced a relief package for impacted businesses (note that there is no relief package for average people driving to work). At best, this will result in further socialization of costs and privatization of profits.
The sad state of affairs is that the right is more capable at organizing protests than the left right now. The kulaks will get what they want, average people will get fucked.
