Greek Farmers Revolt; Block Highways, Ports, Airports

Since November 30, farmers and livestock breeders in Greece have been blockading highways, roads, border crossings, railway stations, and some ports and airports. They are demanding relief from the squeeze of low producer prices on the one hand and high costs of fuel, seeds, fertilizers, and equipment on the other. These are the largest such mobilizations in the country in more than a decade, and they show no signs of winding down.
