Four tractors arrived today at noon in the center of the Eternal City, as announced yesterday, Thursday evening, and they crossed main streets near the Colosseumthe Termini railway station and the site of the former Roman stadium Circo Massimo.

This is a symbolic protest, but also for a clear request to the government of Rome, to start a dialogue with the demonstrators.

Today in the evening, mobilization will be organized, always with tractors, on the ring road around the Eternal City. As the farmers point out, an effort is made with the aim of being able to limit, as much as possible, the suffering of the citizens.

Alongside, the protesters want to see if the Meloni government wants to meet some of their demandsstarting with tax breaks for farmers with lower incomes.
