“Here in the heart of Athens, in the heart of Greece, we welcome the Greek farmers. The fight is fair, their demands are fair. We are on their side. All of Athens, all of Greece is on their side” said the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the KKE, Dimitris Koutsoumbas, at the All-Hellenic Farmers’ Rally at Syntagma.

“The government of Mr. Mitsotakis must stop the mockery. He must satisfy the demands of the farmers. He cannot discover the strength of the economy and the fiscal goals when it is to give money for farmers, when it is to give compensations, when it is to give for the people and generously give it to a few big business groups” he added D. Koutsoubas and emphasized concluding:

“Guaranteed prices now, tax free oil now, 7 cents per kilowatt hour electricity. This is what the farmers are asking for. 100% compensation from ELGA. Infrastructure in agricultural production, cheap production cost. Traders and industrialists sell very expensive supplies to farmers and sometimes buy them at degrading prices. Now come guaranteed lower prices. To stop the Greekization of foreign products and to take measures to breathe life into the Greek peasantry, so that they have quality and cheap products on the supermarket shelves and not the people paying for them.

Good strength to everyone.”
