 Hundreds of farmers in Greece went to the capital Athens with the demand to increase financial assistance to the agricultural sector. The local press reported on this. A convoy of dozens of tractors, accompanied by the police, reached the capital at the end of the day and parked their tractors in front of the parliament as a sign of protest. Most of the farmers from the agricultural regions of the country and the island of Crete had to come to the action by buses. The center of the capital is partially closed for trafficer Prime Minister Kiriakos Mazzatakis, who met with trade union representatives last week, called on farmers to exercise restraint. Greek authorities are proposing to reduce electricity payments to farmers in VAT on fertilizers and animal feed from 13 to 6% over the next 10 years. But farmers say it is not enough. It should be noted that Greek farmers, like their colleagues in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and other European countries, protested last month.
