Greek Farmers Agree to Dialogue, Postpone Rally

Farmers in Greece have decided to accept dialogue with the government but will not proceed with a rally in Athens on Tuesday. Instead, they will attend the meeting with the Prime Minister, leaving their tractors on the roads. Their main demand concerns the European Union's trade agreement with Latin American countries (Mercosur), which they consider harmful to the Greek primary sector. If the dialogue does not lead to satisfactory solutions, farmers warn of an escalation of protests, including complete blockades. They have prepared a comprehensive agenda of demands and seek substantial solutions to the sector's long-standing problems.
