It is reminded that hundreds of farmers of Karditsa prefecture and the region of Farsala are at the junction of the E65 in Karditsa, flooding the side road with their tractors participating in the mobilization decided at the Pan-Tessalian meeting of agricultural federations and associations held last week in Palamas.

The first tractors arrived shortly after 12.30 pm and for some time the tractors from various communities, in whose squares they had been on the road since 12 January following a decision of the meeting of the EOASK with the farmers’ associations, sent the first message to the government to bend over the problems and demands of the rural world and provide solutions.

Now there are strikes and stoppages with farmers on the E-65 in Karditsa

Strong police forces have been deployed at the site since very early and have blocked the entrance and exit from the E65.
