The farmers, as reported by Kozani Media, ignoring the rainfall in the area, threw hay and manure outside the Region of Western Macedonia building as a sign of protest and called on the government to accept their demands.
In fact, the farmers set up a roadblock with about 40 tractors in the Active Urbanisation Zone (ZEP) of Kozani.
