In a symbolic blockade of the port of Nea Moudania, for more than two hours – from 11 in the morning – farmers, breeders and beekeepers of the prefecture of Halkidiki proceeded today, lining up their tractors at the entrance of the port.

At the same time, tractors and their agricultural vehicles remain lined up at the Nea Moudania junction on the Thessaloniki – Nea Moudania highway, since January 25.

Tomorrow, at 6.30 in the morning, farmers, breeders and beekeepers (more than 200 people) will depart from the prefecture of Halkidiki, with three buses and private vehicles, bound for Athens, where they will participate in the Pan-Hellenic Agricultural Rally, which is scheduled for 18.30.

Speaking to APE-MPE, the president of the Simandron Agricultural Cooperative, Filoklis Gotzias, said that what will happen after the rally in Athens “we have not decided yet, but in any case we will not take a step back from our claims”.

In the meantime, farmers and breeders from Niseli, Imathia, have already loaded nine tractors into a truck – according to farmer Nikos Volkos – which are being transported to the Castle of Boeotia, from where a convoy bound for Athens will start early in the morning accompanied by police, so as not to create disturbances on the streets.
