Farmers decided to escalate their protests following a nationwide meeting of blockade groups held in Nikaia, Larissa on Tuesday.
They will continue their struggle with roadblocks on national highways, as well as protests in cities. Additionally, they decided to hold a central demonstration in Athens with their tractors.

Persons unknown caused extensive damage to the Great Walk of Athens, but also to the facades of businesses in Syntagma square after the incidents that took place yesterday in the area after a march against the bill for regulating demonstrations.

Thousands of Greeks have descend from every part of their islands in Chios and Lesvos to demonstrate against the uncontrolled flows of primarily illegal immigrants arriving from Turkey.
