Protests in the Balkan Peninsula are spreading, with Greek farmers taking to the streets to demand their rights. They have blocked highways and roads between Athens and Thessaloniki, affecting traffic and the transport of goods. Farmers are calling for government support due to delays in subsidies and rising production costs, threatening to continue protests during the holiday season.
In Bulgaria, tens of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets in Sofia against tax increases and austerity policies, causing clashes with the police. The Bulgarian government has promised amendments to the budget proposal following street pressure.
In Serbia, anti-government protests have been ongoing for over a year, with tens of thousands of people demanding the government's resignation after the tragedy in Novi Sad. Recently, Serbs have mobilized against the transformation of a former military headquarters into a luxury complex, considering it a monument of recent history. Tensions persist throughout the region, with citizens dissatisfied with corruption and economic measures.
