The meeting at Masaf with the delegation of the agricultural redemption movement ended after two hours.
The undersecretary of Masaf, Patrizio La Pietra, received the 6 representatives.
"After years of choices based on the logic of radical pseudo environmentalism, we want to change community policy and we want to do it in perfect synergy with those who live and work in the fields - La Pietra specified - it is time to make a change of pace on politics agricultural community by simplifying the provision of aid, avoiding financial cuts, saying enough to the shame of aid for not producing".
"It was a positive meeting. Now we are waiting for the official announcement from the ministry."
Thus Andrea Papa, one of the spokespersons for agricultural redemption.
Meanwhile, the presence of Riscatto agricultural tractors continues on Via Nomentana in Rome
.
"We remain here waiting for the minister to formalize the commitments made during the meeting in recent days with our delegation. In particular, regarding the opening of a technical table" explains Elia Fornai, one of the coordinators of Agricultural Redemption.
At the moment, according to the farmers' movement, there are around three hundred vehicles present at the collection point near the Grande Raccordo Anulare.
THE PODCAST
The protest continues in Cagliari, ready to go to Brussels
The garrison of Sardinian farmers and shepherds in front of the port of Cagliari will remain standing until at least February 26th.
Not just Rome: after the parade in front of the Colosseum, also ready to march from Sardinia towards another destination: Brussels.
For now, however, we continue to the bitter end.
"It will be - Roberto Congia, spokesperson for the Sardinian tractor protest - explains to ANSA - a week of negotiations at a national level: only when there are adequate guarantees and responses to the proposals of our platform could we decide to leave".
And then we continue with the tractors positioned in front of the Customs gate.
Always ready to block or in any case slow down incoming and arriving goods with repercussions on car traffic at the entrance to Cagliari.
Furthermore, new walks in the center with agricultural vehicles are planned to remind the city that the fight is not over.
In Rimini street procession and signs
"Stop imposing constraints to encourage imports", but also "Stop begging for more value in agriculture": with signs like these hoisted on tractors, the farmers' protest also reached Rimini this morning.
Tricolor flying in the wind and protest placards were displayed on around sixty tractors that gathered from via Coriano, via Marecchiese, Statale Adriatica and the A14 exit and then stopped in a field on the sea side along the Ausa stream at via Grassi .
Traffic was not blocked, only slowed down during the gathering of agricultural vehicles.
Then the protest, clearly visible to those entering and leaving Rimini, parked in the green area.
