Greek Farmers Return to Blockades and Decide on Escalation

Farmers are returning to blockades across Greece after a pause for the holidays. Tomorrow, a nationwide meeting will be held in Malgara to decide on the next steps and potential escalation of protests, including the organization of new blockades and a rally in Athens. Farmers are demanding substantial announcements from the government to resolve their issues, while the government states that it has already satisfied or is processing 16 of the 27 requests. The Athens-bound lane at Kastro, Boeotia remains closed, with an 8-kilometer detour.
