New protest by farmers, with their tractors, near the Orte motorway toll booth.
According to what ANSA understands, the demonstration particularly concerns the square in front, practically just outside the A1, on the lawn of the central roundabout.
The tractors have crossed the roads leading to the toll booth and are expected to remain in the area for a while.
At the moment the motorway entrance is not blocked.
Protest in Alexandria.
Protest rally with 250 tractors, on the outskirts of Alessandria, until February 3, promoted by the Coordination of autonomous farmers of Alessandria and Asti.
The demonstration, launched yesterday, in Viale Milite Ignoto, marks the start of a series of initiatives: this afternoon the promoters organized the 'Agriculture Educational Day' to "invite families and children to learn about the world of agriculture, explained directly from the producers".
Tomorrow afternoon the farmers who have joined the coordination will go, on foot, in a procession from the garrison to Piazza della Libertà, where they will hold a rally in front of Palazzo Ghilini, headquarters of the Prefecture.
On Wednesday another procession, this time of tractors, headed towards the ring road and the Alessandria Ovest toll booth of the A21 Turin-Piacenza motorway.
The closure of the garrison is scheduled for Saturday 3 February: for that date the Autonomous Farmers have invited the president of the Piedmont Region Alberto Cirio.
"Ours is an apolitical protest, in full respect of legality - underline Gabriele Ponzano and Gian Piero Ameglio, spokesperson for the Movement - not against someone, but for someone: for the future of our families and companies. And to guarantee healthy, Italian food" .
