Farmers in Magnesia Plan Protest Over Economic Struggles
Farmers in Magnesia are organizing a major motorized protest on November 14 at 6 PM, aimed at addressing severe challenges due to ongoing disasters, lack of compensation, and rising economic pressures. Key gathering points include Karavoma, Hania, and Velestino, culminating at the regional administration building, where they will distribute apples to passerby. The farmers are reeling from 2023’s floods and 2024’s droughts, leading to reduced production and increased costs. Union leader Theodoros Georgakakis emphasized the urgency for government support and infrastructure improvements, underscoring the protest’s role in a year-long series of demonstrations.
