Mitsotakis-farmers meeting on Monday - Agro-unionist Anestidis' vulgar comments against PM

The convening of the meeting is based on strict conditions, with the government requesting open roads and a limited number of representatives, to ensure a substantive and functional discussion.

As reported by government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis, the government has made it clear that a prerequisite for the start of the dialogue is the full restoration of traffic on the roads, which has already happened, as the farmers have opened their blockades. Furthermore, the government insists on the participation of only representatives who are not associated with delinquent behavior or are being investigated for irregularities.

The government's direction is to start a constructive dialogue to resolve the problems plaguing the agricultural sector, such as increased production costs and lost subsidies. From the farmers' side, the climate is mixed, with many coming to the meeting with reservations, expressing doubts about the government's real intentions.

Farmers' meeting with open blockades - Mitsotakis
In Nicaea, farmers in Thessaly are preparing to participate in the meeting, after agreeing to keep the roads open. The spokesman for the United Federation of Agricultural Associations of Greece, Iordanis Ioannidis, stated yesterday that all blockades will be opened by evening, in order to facilitate communication and dialogue with the government.

The committee that will represent the farmers is made up of representatives from the main regions of Thessaly, with the farmers emphasizing that they do not expect immediate solutions but rather that the problems of their sector be highlighted.

Anestidis unrepentant for the insulting comments against the prime minister - He wants to attend the Maximos
The participation of the agricultural unionist Costas Anestidis remains uncertain, as he is under investigation for irregularities in agricultural subsidies, which has caused intense discussions among the agricultural factions.

Costas Anestidis appeared unrepentant after yesterday's vulgar comments he made against Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis while speaking to ONE. Despite the reactions to his rhetoric, the agro-unionist claimed that his actions were the result of his personal tension due to the freezing of his accounts and the difficult situation he is in.

The agro-unionist, who is being investigated for irregularities in OPEKEPE subsidies, stated that he has not yet received the case file for the case, while he stated that he has suffered serious financial consequences, including the seizure of his wife's pension.

Regarding his verbal attacks against the prime minister, he stressed that he did not regret them, explaining that he could not remain idle in the face of the imposition of measures against him.

Finally, Anestidis announced that he would attend the meeting with Mr. Mitsotakis on agricultural issues, while he announced that in case he is not accepted, he will take other actions.

The government and farmers face a difficult dialogue, with developments awaited with great interest. If the meeting proves fruitful, it could mark the beginning of a series of positive changes for the primary sector, which faces many challenges on an economic and social level.
