Farmers launch new round of nationwide protests

Greek farmers on Tuesday launch a new round of protests, following a decision during a meeting on Sunday in Larissa, central Greece, with the participation of farmers from several parts of the country.
Farmers will move their tractors to the centre of their villages, while further protests – escalating even to the blocking of highways at the end of month– will depend on the participation rates.
Farmers have also decided to hold gatherings outside tax offices across the country and rally in Thessaloniki, northern Greece, on February 1, during the Agrotica Trade Fair.
The farmers protest against taxation and demand the settlement of ‘bad loans’.
