Tractors blockade Greece

A FARMER walks among hundreds of tractors blocking the main motorway linking Athens to northern Thessaloniki at Kastro village, some 75 miles north of the Greek capital.

Thousands of farmers used their tractors to block many junctions throughout Greece's motorway network as well as the Promahonas border crossing to Bulgaria as part of countrywide action by farmers who are demanding better prices for their goods as well as government subsidies.
