Farmers’ protests and roadblocks continued on Saturday along major and secondary roadways in Greece’s provinces, with thousands of farm tractors lining several highways. Farmers’ unions and associations have pressed the government satisfy a number of demands, mainly involving compensation and lower production costs.

The government supports the fair demands of Greek farmers, but has exhausted all possibilities of measures to help them under the budget constraints, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in an interview on Star TV on Monday evening.
