The Minister of Finances Yannis Stournaras is scheduled to meet with representatives of the farmer unions today in order to discuss various tax measures. While the government announced a number of measures in favor of farmers last week, the unions have rejected them as they claim do not address their demands.
Meanwhile the farmers are planning on opening up the tool booths in the areas where they have positioned their blockades across the country. Farmers in Serres have symbolically blocked off the site of the former agricultural ATEbank.
On Sunday the farmers held a huge rally at the Nikea junction, which was attended by representatives from the other blockades and unions from other sectors, and discussed their demands and future plans.
