On February 13, farmers, livestock breeders, fishermen, and beekeepers rallied in Athens, participating in a significant demonstration at 16:00. This action follows a nationwide conference held last week in Nea Ikonios, Larissa, where they resolved to 'play their last card' in response to grievances regarding a recent meeting with the Prime Minister at the Maximos Mansion. The agricultural representatives emphasized their frustration over the lack of substantive answers to their concerns expressed during negotiations, leading them to shift their protest strategy and leave their previous blockades to march towards the capital.

In statements to 'To Vima,' representatives from the primary sector indicated that during their discussions with the Prime Minister, they received no concrete proposals or timelines regarding their demands. The uncertainty and perceived inaction from the government have been crucial factors prompting farmers to escalate their protests. As they descend upon the capital, their message aims to highlight the ongoing struggles and challenges faced by the agricultural community, which see their livelihoods threatened.

The Nationwide Committee of Roadblocks has urged citizens to join them at Syntagma Square, amplifying the protest's urgency and drawing attention to the agricultural plight in Greece. As Athens braces for the demonstration, the situation underscores a pivotal moment for the agricultural sector in Greece, as frustration mounts over government inaction and the farmers push for more substantial dialogue and solutions.
