Greece's farmers continue nationwide blockades

In Greece, the agricultural mobilizations continue on Thursday at the Nikaia blockade, where hundreds of tractors remain lined up at the junction of the Athens-Thessaloniki national road.

Vehicle traffic is being carried out via side roads, under the constant guidance and responsibility of the traffic police, in order to avoid delays and ensure the smooth flow of traffic around the blockade, CE Report quotes ANA-MPA.

The presence of farmers is constant, with daily assemblies determining coordination and subsequent forms of action.

In parallel with the mobilizations in the Nikaia blockade, the Regional Council of Thessaly, in its meeting, issued a unanimous resolution of support for the farmers.

The resolution noted that the primary sector is a crucial pillar for the economy of Thessaly and for the social cohesion of the region.

The regional governor of Thessaly, Dimitris Kouretas, expressed his support for the farmers' struggle and placed the services of the Regional Authority and himself at their disposal, as long as their struggle lasts.

The farmers' demands remain constant and concern primarily the reduction of production costs, which - as they themselves emphasized - has made many farms unviable.
