Farmers across Greece are toughening their stance as they reinforce their roadblocks
Farmer blockades at border crossings
Blockades have been set up at the border checkpoints of Kipi, Exochi, Promachonas, Evzoni, and Niki, as well as the Kalpaki junction leading to the Kakavia crossing. Truck passage is restricted for certain hours or indefinitely, depending on local decisions.
From 18:00 on Friday, full traffic flow resumed at the Promachonas border station, after farmers temporarily lifted the blockade for passenger vehicles. They had earlier allowed traffic between 4 and 6 p.m. before re-closing the border to trucks until 10 p.m. The Evzoni crossing is also expected to remain closed until the same time.
At the Kipi crossing in Evros, farmers have maintained their blockade for a fifth straight day. More than 200 tractors and agricultural machines have been gathered there since Tuesday afternoon, December 2.
Passenger cars and buses are allowed to pass through a single lane in each direction, and trucks carrying perishable goods may also pass. However, about 500 trucks remain immobilized on the Greek side of the border—both on the old Alexandroupolis–Ormenio national road near Ardanio and on the vertical axis of the Egnatia motorway near Provatas.
