Farmers protest in Greek capital over rising production costs

People lined up and applauded as tractors arrived in front of the parliament building. The farmers said they would stay overnight. Stavros Kozoutzis, a farmer from Komotini, in the north of the country, said: “Unfortunately, the summer cultivation period is about to begin, and we do not have the money to plant this year’s crops.” Last month, the farmers ended weeks of nationwide blockades over delayed farm aid payments. The Greek government says it has disbursed much of the overdue payments and announced cheaper fuel and cover for future output losses. “We are giving a battle for our survival. We left the blockades. but our fight continues as our main demands have not been satisfied,” Rizos Maroudas told public broadcaster ERT, hours before farmers reached Athens. 🔗 Leggi su Internazionale.it
