Greek farmers protest at Athens parliament: "Fighting for our justified rights"

Farmers from across Greece drove their tractors to Athens on Tuesday, stepping up weeks of protests over rising costs, foreign competition and catastrophic flooding. "We are fighting for our justified rights. We want the government to give us solutions to our problems, because we aren’t just fighting for us, for our own survival, we are fighting for everyone," farmer and protester Spyros Hatzis said. As they drove through the streets of the capital, they honked their horns to cheers and waves from passersby. Dozens of tractors parked in front of parliament, where farmers stood on top of the vehicles, waving Greek flags and protest banners. Greek farmers' unions have been in negotiations with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' conservative government for weeks, but say the measures announced so far don't go far enough to meet their concerns. The rally echoes grievances in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland and Italy, where farmers have staged similar demonstrations.
