The farmers decided on their descent by tractor to Athens for next Tuesday after a long-hour nationwide meeting of the block committee held in Nikaia, Larissa.
At the same time, on the same day, those who remain behind in the blockades will also proceed with actions. Indicatively, according to local media, in Evros they are aiming to close the customs office on Tuesday.
It is worth noting that according to skai.gr, at the meeting in Nice, the majority of farmers proposed an escalation of the mobilizations and tractors in the center of Athens, as they consider that their basic demand, tax-free oil, has not been met by the government.
For its part, the government has declared that there is no more fiscal room to meet the farmers’ demands. Government officials note, according to ERT, that the prime minister presented “substantial and fair proposals, with permanent measures for energy costs”.
