(18 Mar 2022) Holding up vegetables and black flags, hundreds of protesting farmers blocked the roads in central Athens on Friday, demanding the government to grant them additional concessions to cope with high energy costs.
The protesters, some on tractors, gathered outside the Agriculture Ministry's building, planning to head to the parliament in the centre of the capital.
Farming associations claim they were largely left out of a 1.1 billion euro ($1.21 billion) financial support package announced earlier this week by the centre-right government to help struggling businesses and lower-income households.
Increasing energy costs have hit farmers who have passed many of the increases on to food prices, as inflation reached 6.3% in February and an average of 5.9% among countries that share the euro currency.
Earlier this year, farming associations across the country staged protests along Greece's highways, but did not carry out roadblocks.
