They are not willing to do, as it has become well understood, back to their demands the farmers in Evia as well.

In the framework of the Pan-Neuvoi agricultural rally that took place today, Thursday (8/02), at 12:00 noon at the headquarters of the Region in Chalkida, the farmers arrived in the capital of the island with their tractors and remain there until now, moving to main streets of the city.

The movement of agricultural vehicles within the densely populated urban fabric has, understandably, caused turbulence and traffic confusion.
In the morning, the farmers approached the entrance of the Evia Regional Unit protesting their demands.

The procession arrived in Chalkida to meet with the deputy governor of Evia, George Kelaiditis.

It is expected that they will head towards the coast by going up Eleftheriou Venizelou to end up at the junction of Agios Stefanos.

“We are fighting for our survival, to stay in our fields, in our crops, in our livestock!”, is their motto

Earlier, Haina Street was closed while increased traffic prevailed in the surrounding streets.

Yesterday the farmers took to the streets of their village squares.

For example, on Wednesday 7/2, the farmers of North Evia closed the entrance and exit of the main road, outside Mantoudi Town Hall, for one hour.

The president of the Agricultural and Livestock Association, Babis Tsivikas, spoke once again to his colleagues, stressing to them that a motorized march in Athens is not ruled out.

He then invited municipal workers to come out of their offices and join them in this one-hour lockout.

Fellow farmers, breeders, beekeepers

These days all over the country, even in many European countries, farmers are on the streets for our survival.

This is the real price that a hearing aid should have

We are all meteoric about what we will do this year with our fields, with our livestock. We see that the case is not working, the production costs are huge, the feed is very expensive, the costs are increasing from everywhere, the selling price of our products is humiliating. We work sun by sun, in the rain, in the snow, in the sleet and we don’t know what the bill will be in the end. We feel the effects of government policy every day on our skin.

Real support measures must now be taken for all of us, not candy and banana peels.
