The tractor protest aims for Rome.
"In the next few days - announces the leader of the farmers' revolt Danilo Calvani - we will pile up the tractors outside the city. There will be no blockades, but certainly inconveniences: we expect thousands of participants from all over Italy".
But there has already been a taste of what could happen in recent days and continues with the blockades from Milan to Crotone as well as in Sardinia.
Since Tuesday in Milan, hundreds of farmers with around seventy vehicles have been protesting at the gates of Milan at the Melegnano toll gate.
Motorway traffic blocked due to protests in Valdichiana as well as in Valdisangro.
The third night of horns and smoke bombs took place in Cagliari.
"We will organize many demonstrations - explains Calvani regarding the protests coming to the capital - I have already made agreements with the police headquarters. This is easily granted to us".
But the unions are going on the attack and asking for vigilance.
"Salvini and Lollobrigida - accuses the leader of Uil Pierpaolo Bombardieri - were very careful when CGIL and UIL carried out the general strikes, now they are distracted or are abroad; the tractors are about to block roads and motorways but not a single joke was heard about fact that there are rules."
Meanwhile, the centre-right responds to the protests by returning to accuse the Commission's policies.
"It is a manifestation of an uneasiness - says Minister Pichetto Fratin - that exists towards choices made by the European Commission which do not correspond to the interests of all countries, probably of some".
"I always condemn violence - underlines Minister Antonio Tajani - but we need to understand what is the cause of the very serious malaise that exists in the agricultural and industrial world. An exclusively ideological policy of fighting climate change".

In the background the next European confrontation and the new balances that could arise from it.
"Solidarity with the tractor protest - says Matteo Salvini - I invite them to limit traffic disruption because it means harming other workers. They are angry with a Europe that would like to pay them for not producing, for not breeding, for not sowing, for not harvesting, This is the Europe that we want to change."
The League, in fact, reiterates its line: "the latest polls clearly show that the centre-right groups - say League sources in the European Chamber - united, could represent the leading force in the European Parliament: this would make it possible to completely change direction in Brussels and remedy years of disasters caused by Von der Leyen and his associates".
But the government is also thinking about possible interventions.
One hypothesis on which the government is apparently working - FdI group leader Carlo Fidanza informs the European Parliament - is to limit the end of the Irpef exemption for dominion and agricultural income "only to those with large areas".
And we are thinking about the possibility of an amendment in this sense to the Milleproroghe decree being discussed in the Chamber.
But on the other hand, the executive claims what has already been done for the sector with the increase in overall funds in the budget measure.
From the majority it is also observed that the total cost of the Irpef exemption, 250 million, was very costly for the State compared to the actual profit, especially on medium and small businesses.
In short, we will proceed only if the necessary resources are actually found.
Meanwhile, the technical table on the CAP met at the Ministry of Agriculture with the minister and the trade associations.
New meeting next week.
When the tractors might have come down to Rome.
