Police in the northern prefecture of Serres arrested several members of an independent farmers’ group on Monday evening. This resulted after the latter attempted to cross a police roadblock near an intersection near the Greek-Bulgarian border.
The farmers arrested had succeeded through detours, to cross a riot police “barricade” a short way from the Petritsi bridge in order to reach the Promahonas border station through Angistri.
At the same time, tension was created between police, farmers and passing motorists, when riot police prevented the passing of all vehicles to and from the Promahonas border station, shortly before the Petritsi bridge.
