Farmers Bring Their Demands to Athens as Costs Surge

Greek farmers with their tractors rally in front of the Greek parliament, over unsolved issues after weeks of blockades. Greek farmers converged on Athens in a powerful display of frustration over rising production costs that they say are pushing them to the brink. Driving tractors, carrying banners, and gathering in Syntagma Square, they demanded stronger government support to keep their farms viable. The protesters argue that soaring fuel prices, higher electricity bills, and increased costs for animal feed and fertilizers have made it nearly impossible to sustain their livelihoods. Many also want long‑term structural reforms, including better access to water resources and more predictable subsidies. Government officials have acknowledged the pressure on the agricultural sector and signaled willingness to negotiate, but farmers insist that previous promises have not been enough.

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

You will know just what to say and just when to say it this year. The channel between your brain and your vocal chords is open to such an extent that you will speak almost as quickly as you think – and your thoughts will be touched by genius.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Something you have been trying to keep secret will become public knowledge today and it may be an uncomfortable situation for you. However, you are who you are, you do what you do and there is no reason on earth why you should want to deny it.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

If you call on your powers of persuasion today you will find it ridiculously easy to get others to do what you ask of them. You will achieve more though if you deal with people on a one-to-one level – trying to persuade groups won’t be so easy.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Your schedule may be hugely demanding but because you can see what the long-term rewards could be you are prepared to do whatever it takes to push on and get it all done. Take a break every couple of hours though to refresh your mind and body.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Are all things possible for you now? Well, maybe not all but there are so many opportunities heading your way that your only real problem is going to be how to choose between them. Listen to your inner voice and follow its advice to the letter.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

If a money matter is causing you concern then do something about it. As one of the zodiac’s fire signs you are not the sort to just sit there and wait for life to happen, so identify the problem, roll up your sleeves and get stuck in!

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

You may be inclined to give someone you don’t much like a wide berth today but the planets suggest a better tactic would be to approach them and get talking. Chances are you are not as far apart ethically and emotionally as you had previously believed.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

The next few days are going to be extremely busy and if you want to avoid burnout you need to get on top of your to-do list right away. The more of the grunt work you do now the less you will be under the gun later on.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Some of your plans will wander off track a bit over the next 24 hours, so be ready to guide them back in the right direction. The more focused you are the less likely it is you will end up miles away from your chosen destination.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

You need to find ways to rise above petty disputes and let those around you know that long silences and secret grudges are not the way forward. If you think it might help, swallow your pride and be the first to say sorry. It’s a minor sacrifice.
