The government will await all the farmers’ demands to be submitted in order to arrange a meeting with Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras “in terms of representativeness”, Agriculture Minister Evangelos Apostolou said on Monday in statements outside the Parliament.
“I was just informed that another demand for a meeting with the prime minister was submitted,” Apostolou said and added: “As you know there are also other demands and the fact that farmers react to the prime minister’s call for dialogue is positive. We will wait for the other demands to be submitted, because we want this meeting, not only to be a representative one, but also efficient,” he underlined.
