A policeman stops…
A policeman stops the lead tractor, sporting a poster of Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis, in a protest by farmers in central Greece yesterday. The police blocked the Athens-Thessaloniki national road to prevent the farmers from getting to Tempe, where they wanted to block the highway themselves. The farmers said they wanted to send a message to the government about subsidies, compensation and the return of VAT payments, which they claim they have not yet received.
