Clashes between farmers in Crete / Heraklion airport blocked, protest

Farmers across Greece are intensifying blockades across the country, including new mobilizations in Crete with clashes near Heraklion Airport.

During the morning, farmers in Crete began their mobilization near the Pankritio stadium, followed by a large convoy towards Heraklion. The Pankretas Coordination Committee intends to block both the Port of Heraklion and the "N. Kazantzakis" Airport.

Farmers from Sitia, Ierapetra, Agios Nikolaos and eastern Rethymno have joined the demonstration.

Police used tear gas in Heraklion as farmers tried to break barricades to block access to the airport, Greek media reported. 

Blockades are affecting national highways, ports and border crossings, with coordinated port closures planned in Volos and Thessaloniki.

Farmers are demanding government action against agricultural cartels and scandals, while awaiting proposals for dialogue from officials.

Protests are widespread, with farmers blocking major roads and entry points into the country. /CNA
