Tomorrow, at the pan-Hellenic meeting in Nice, Larissa, scheduled for 12:00 noon, the final decisions are expected to be made on the next steps of the farmers who are discussing the escalation of their mobilizations, as they say the government’s announcements do not satisfy them.

Specifically, the farmers are threatening both the closure of the National Road and a rally in the center of Athens without ruling out that we see images in Greece as in other European countries with tractors located in the center of cities.

As he pointed out the representative of the Agricultural Cooperative of Larisa, Christos Sidiropoulos, the demands of the farmers are common throughout Greece, while he did not rule out seeing images like in Germany, France and Italy with the aim, as he said, of pressuring the state to change its decisions.

For more intense and long-lasting blockages the trade union leader spoke in his turn of Larissa farmers, Rizos Marouda stressing that one of their proposals is a rally in the center of Athens. Their purpose, as he said, is to pressure the government in order to provide solutions to their demands.

“They will come in droves from all over the country. We will decide together our actions, how we will handle the situation after the announcements of the prime minister that do not satisfy us. That is why we continue with a proposal to escalate the mobilizations to go out on the national road with the tractors” he said and added:

“In order to be able to carry out actions in the cities as well, examining all our movements and all the proposals concerning from a rally in Athens next week until and from tomorrow further escalation of the mobilization. The final decisions will be made tomorrow. The proposals and thoughts that exist are to go national, to have more intense and long-lasting blockades to pressure the government more effectively to pressure the government to consider the requests and provide solutions so that a meeting can also take place when there is something essential to discuss.”
