Speaking to him rural world of the region, Mr. Koutsoubas said that all the ruling parties have created an ELGA that bullies farmers and hardly compensates them, while referring to our country’s sanctions on Russia, stressing that “with these sanctions, the Greek people ultimately pay for it” .

“Given that the Russian market absorbed huge quantities of apples, you saw your income shrinking constantly and your products being sold at degrading prices to wholesalers,” he said.
