Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Monday he's pleased with the talks
held earlier on Monday with the representatives of farmers from dozens
of roadblocks around the country, adding that he hoped protesters will
appreciate the government's efforts to find a solution.
In three Twitter posts on his Greek account, Tsipras said discussions
"touched upon all the issues facing the farmers," and added that "the 25
measures we presented, reflect both the understanding and the desire to
continue the dialog through the National Network of Agricultural Policy."
He then added: "I'm sure the farmers' assemblies will stand positively
towards our government's sincere efforts to find solutions."

Many of the people were expected to be transferred to temporary
accommodation centers. Earlier in the morning, another 1,600 third
