Farmers protesting in Lefkonas, Serres, passed the police blockade and are heading to the Promachonas customs office.

The farmers got off the tractors and had a verbal confrontation with the police chiefs. They then tried to find a way to break the blockade and succeeded, passing through the fields on the left and right of the National Road. Thus, they are heading at full speed towards the Promachonas customs office, where they will proceed with a new blockade.

The Police set up a roadblock on the National Highway, but there was no further intention to engage in conflict with the farmers, with the cages remaining in place and the riot police squads remaining in place.
