Farmers begin pullout from Promahonas roadblock : The withdrawal of about 400 tractors that had assembled at the roadblock is expected to be completed on Sunday. According to the president of the “Non-Aligned Farmers”, “the farmers are withdrawing from their mobilisations fully satisfied with the commitments of the Agricultural Development minister.” He added, however, that they will be renewing their rendezvouz on March 20 “in the event that their demands are not met and they have not received the compensation they are entitled to.”
