If solutions are not given to the problems of the agricultural world, the fight will continue,” he said the president of the United Federation of Agricultural Associations of Karditsa (EOASK) Kostas Tzelas, during his speech at the pan-Hellenic agricultural rally that is underway in Syntagma.

He once again mentioned the main demands of the farmers, among which are tthe tax-free rural oil, the cheap rural electricity, the crackdown on Greekisation and also the revision of the CAP.

“We are all asking for tax-free oil for farmers,” he said.

As far as the agricultural stream is concerned, Mr. Gelas said it should drop to 7 cents per kilowatt hour, underlining that “we demand it and we will win it”.

Among the demands of the agricultural world, as he pointed out, is the subsidy for the purchase of fertilizers, animal feed and agricultural supplies. “Through something like this we will be able to produce cheap agricultural products,” he emphasized.

He once again asked for an end to Greekisation, while in his report on the CAP, he underlined that “we have no answer and no substantial solution” demanding the restoration of “greening”.

“Every time the CAP is revised, we get poorer. We are leaving our villages and fields,” he concluded.
