Agricultural mobilizations immediately after the festive season are recommended by the Panhellenic Committee of Blocks at the panhellenic meeting of farmers and organizations that meets in Nice, Larissa, according to onlarissa.gr.

A large number of farmers, trade unionists and cooperatives attended from many parts of the country, in the hall of the Cultural Center of Nice.

The president of the United Federation of Agricultural Associations of the Larissa region, Rizos Maroudas, spoke of a disastrous year for farmers, attributing the current situation to reduced production, increased production costs and low prices of products.

“In a year like this, he characteristically said in his statements before the meeting, the only path we can follow is the path of mobilisations, demanding the satisfaction of the just demands of survival that we have, demanding to stay in our crops because this too is now being asked i doubt it. To be able to cover the lost income that exists. The mass participation today, what is evident is the size of the problem, but also our determination through this united struggle and through the large mobilizations that we will propose, to take place after the holidays, to force the government to provide solutions ».
