Land and sea blockade of the port of Volos - Farmers with tractors, fishermen with boats
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Farmers continue their protests by occupying ports, starting in Volos, despite the intervention of the Supreme Court prosecutor.
Farmers and fishermen of Volos will block the commercial and freight port, as well as the customs office, from land and sea respectively, this morning.
The farmers rejected the Supreme Court's intervention as a "communication trick" and raised questions about the delay in the OPEKEPE case, in which thw agricultural sunsidy organization was revealed funding fraudulent compensation demands.
An extension of the protest was announced next Friday in Larissa at the political offices of New Democracy party MPs and a meeting of the Panhellenic Committee of Farmers Blocs on Saturday.
The government is preparing to announce a meeting with farmers and a package of measures for production costs, aiming to remove tractors before the holidays.
