The tractor protests being staged in
many parts of Europe by farmers angry about the hardship they
face and about EU and national government policies are set to
come to Rome next week, a representative of the protesters said
Friday.
"We will take the protest to Rome," farmers' representative
Danilo Calvani told ANSA.
"In the coming days we will gather tractors outside the city.
"There won't be any blockades, but there definitely will be
inconvenience.
"We expect thousands from all over Italy to take part".
"Between tomorrow and the day after tomorrow we will announce
the dates and places (of the protest).
"In the following days we will begin to move the vehicles.
"Then, we have the will to hold a demonstration - without
vehicles - in Rome.
"The government is not listening to us and the unions no longer
represent us," he added.
