Tsiaras on ProtoThema: “The party with OPEKEPE is over, we have a de-escalation strategy but it takes two to tango”

The Minister of Rural Development, Kostas Tsiaras, spoke on Direct about the agricultural protests

Maximos Mansion’s message to the roadblocks and the “bargaining” over a compromise on electricity, fuel, and product prices

Government officials do not rule out the possibility of a meeting on Monday, provided that on Sunday a coordinated group of representatives emerges from the farmers’ movement

Outbursts during the briefing of ND MPs on farmers – “If checks weren’t conducted, we would have lost the funds,” said Tsiaras

The session lasted 4.5 hours – “You are mocking us,” shouted Arabatzi at the head of OPEKEPE – “Do we have a crisis management strategy? Because I don’t see one,” said Voridis – “All our people are in the roadblocks,” said Zetta Makri – Criticism even over the subordination of OPEKEPE to AADE

Voridis: The prosecutor said the obvious about the blockades, the farmers should sit at the table of dialogue

The delays in payments are not punitive in nature, but related to procedural controls, Mr.Voridis said - Real farmers face difficulties in their daily lives, he added
