Farmers in northern Greece, who have lined up their tractors along national highways, are apparently determined not to 'give in' despite the fact that they have been at their roadblocks for a couple of weeks now. However, farmers from Imathia decided to withdraw their tractors from the Kouloura interchange on Egnatia motorway on Wednesday, and return to their farms in order to spray their peach crops.

In Epirus, farmers continued with their mobilisations for the 15th consecutive day with their tractors aligned along the road at Louros and Kanalaki in Preveza. The President of Preveza's Farmers Federation Mr. Spyros Klinakis told the state news agency that the farmers will continue their struggle for as long as the government remains adamant and follows its authoritarian policy, not fulfilling any of the farmers' demands.
