With a nationwide farmer demonstration arranged for Wednesday in Athens, most farmers in the north of Greece have decided to carry out symbolic protests on Tuesday, while other of their colleagues remain skeptical.
The vice president of an Imathia farmer union Kostas Lioliopoulos revealed that many MPs met with farmers at the Kouloura road block and while they offered their support and solidarity to their plight, claimed that they can only help them so much “because the government must not collapse”.
A number of MPs from Central Macedonia have arranged to meet with the Minister of Finances Yannis Stournaras in order to discuss “16 points”, with Mr. Lioliopoulos hoping that “at least some of our demands are satisfied”.
The farmers stationed at the Kouloura junction have announced a demonstration in Thessaloniki.
