Tractors converge on Rome as farmers protest across Europe
==========
A convoy of tractors descended on Rome as farmer protests caused disruptions across Europe. The movement erupted in France last month and has spread to Germany, Belgium, Poland, Romania, Greece, and the Netherlands. Around 150 tractors massed in Orte, around one hour north of Rome, as protesters demanded better pay and conditions. In Greece, around 2,000 farmers protested in Thessaloniki to demand aid increases. In Germany, hundreds of farmers on tractors disrupted access to Frankfurt airport. Farmer discontent has also affected non-EU Switzerland, where around 30 tractors paraded in Geneva. In France, forces cleared the remaining blockades of motorways after the main agricultural union called for them to be lifted. Romanian farmers and hauliers also announced the end of their road-blocking mobilization following an agreement with the government. The European Commission promised measures to defend the "legitimate interests" of EU farmers.
