Greek farmers, including livestock breeders, beekeepers and fishermen across Greece have decided to resume their protests after over a two-week break of nationwide disruptions.
Following a marathon meeting of the Panhellenic Committee of Roadblocks in Larissa, central Greece on Wednesday, they agreed to descend on the Greek capital with their tractors on Friday, February 13, and to remain at Syntagma Square until the following day.
Similar mobilizations are planned for Monday and Tuesday, February 9 and 10, 2026, in major cities across the country.
Among the proposals submitted—besides the Athens rally, which was approved by a majority—was also the planning of a protest in Thessaloniki during the Agrotica exhibition, scheduled to take place from March 12 to 15, 2026.
As representatives of the farmers emphasized their actions would take various forms beyond roadblocks at key junctions and national highways.
The farmers said they were compelled to continue their organized protests because the government had failed to meet their demands. These include the reduction of production costs, the establishment of minimum guaranteed prices for their products, compensation for lost income, the creation of necessary infrastructure, and the adoption of measures to protect agricultural production.
