Farmers insist on blocking roads reacting to the new pension plan. National highways will remain closed at blocks from noon until 2 pm and from 6 pm until 9 pm. Moreover, flee markets will not be open today and tomorrow.

"Without a new pension system, we cannot have stability," Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos on Monday said during a book presentation in Athens.
