Government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis, in an interview with MEGA TV on Wednesday on the protests by farmers, said that "all these mobilisations, are obviously a message to all, and to us, to do even more. I believe that we have done a lot, though always within the existing fiscal margins. We make it clear that there is no fiscal space at this time to give farmers something in the form of a subsidy," he underlined.

"I can see a great dignity in the farmers' protests, which were carried out in an orderly fashion and with specific demands," he added.
