Bulgarian farmers started to block major roads and border crossings across the country. 26 branch organisations announced they were embarking on an indefinite nationwide protest in the agriculture sector. They claim that more than 900,000 people are affected by the country’s decision to waive the ban on imports of agricultural products from Ukraine.
The protesting farmers demand not only that the ban on the import of grain from Ukraine shlould continue, but also to extend it with a veto on fruits, vegetables, meat, milk and honey.
Protesters closed more than 40 major roads in a bid to save the Bulgarian agriculture.
Georgi Milev, Deputy Chairman of the National Grain Producers Association, called on the public to travel only in case of extreme necessity because there is heavy machinery on the roads.
On September 19 the protesters are expected to arrive with their machinery in Sofia to protest in front of the Council of Ministers building. Police are trying to prevent significant roadblocks. Protesters demand the government’s resignation.
