Farmers’ unions cancel meeting with Mitsotakis, plan escalation with new roadblocks

Farmers’ unions from the Thessaly roadblocks insist on the representation they themselves propose

Hardliners at the blockades put obstacles to dialogue with Mitsotakis – “We do not operate with ultimatums,” the government responds

Farmers’ final decisions this afternoon – They insist on the participation of the President of the Magnesia Livestock Breeders, who smashed the windshield of a police vehicle and is facing prosecution – If the first meeting does not take place, it does not mean the second will not

Marinakis: There will be two meetings with farmers, the Prime Minister cannot work with ultimatums

As the government spokesman said, there will be two meetings because "they (the national committee) did not want to be at the meeting with some others"

Why Mitsotakis agreed to two meetings with farmers and livestock breeders

The government signals willingness to talk, but rules out new funding as divisions among protest leaders complicate negotiations

“Yes” to dialogue, “no” to Tuesday’s rally, farmers decide

The proposal for a gathering in Athens was rejected – “If our demands are not met, we will respond dynamically,” they warn – Tractors will remain at the roadblocks

Farmers ease roadblocks ahead of meeting with Prime Minister: which roads are reopening

Farmers remain on the roads after accepting an invitation to meet with the Prime Minister on Tuesday at the Maximos Mansion. However, most are easing their stance and reopening national highways as a gesture of goodwill

Behind the scenes of the invitation to farmers for a meeting with Mitsotakis: The phone calls and the “pressure valve”

A senior minister tells protothema.gr that “accepting the invitation means that the roadblocks also want a solution, because farmer union leaders cannot remain on the streets indefinitely.”

Government to farmers: Dialogue is necessary, there is no room for additional measures

Representative participation of farmers from across Greece and open roads are the government’s two conditions for dialogue with farmers – “Dialogue cannot take place while the inconvenience to citizens continues.”

Farmers escalate with 48-hour roadblocks and closures of bypass routes — where traffic will be completely halted

Despite insisting on road closures, farmers now say yes to dialogue – What they are asking from the government

Dialogue with the PM is now being requested by the farmers of Nikaia who want a 48-hour escalation with blockades starting tomorrow

A divergence from roadblocks mainly in Northern Greece, which are calling for an immediate meeting - Proposal for a new nationwide conference over the weekend
