Farmers in Greece decided to escalate their protests, following the fruitless meeting they had Saturday with Agricultural Minister Katerina Batzeli. In the meantime, hundreds of cars have been trapped in the border crossing of Promahonas.
On Friday evening, Katerina Batzeli outlined a package of farm measures. The immediate settlement of overdue debts through the extension of a payoff period and the adoption of a grace period of two years, as well as a credit limit increase to cover 100 pct of cultivation expenses, are among the measures unveiled.
The Greek Communist Party (KKE) blasted the government for threatening the farmers with prosecutors and slandering their cause using the media.
