Farmer Protests Escalate With Airport Access Blocked in Thessaloniki

Warning

Country: Greece

Location: Thessaloniki (airport access road), Northern & Central Greece, and northern border crossings

Farmer protests intensified on Friday as riot police used tear gas to stop demonstrators attempting to block the main access road to Thessaloniki International Airport, while hundreds of tractors positioned across highways and border points in northern and central Greece caused widespread traffic delays; the unrest stems from postponed EU-backed subsidy payments currently under fraud-related review, leaving many farmers unable to purchase materials or plant for the next season.   Advice: - Avoid the Thessaloniki Airport access road and major highways affected by tractor blockades. - Expect delays and diversions across northern and central Greece, including border crossings. - Allow extra travel time for airport transfers and long-distance routes. - Monitor updates from the Greek Police.
