Greek farmers are escalating their protests by driving their tractors to Athens after Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said there’s no fiscal space to offer further financial relief.
Some 140 tractors entered the city, with police stopping traffic on central roads to allow the protesters get to Syntagma Square in front of Greek parliament. Many others arrived by bus.
