"We blocked traffic because we want answers. The Minister of Agriculture receives us
," said Salvatore Fais, one of the farmers' leaders in the streets today in Rome, asking for a meeting with Minister Francesco Lollobrigida.

Farmers have returned to demonstrate in Rome. "More than 500 from all regions in the streets"
, explain Salvatore Fais and Roberto Rosati, farmers' leaders.
"Now we will return to the garrison and we will give ourselves a unitary name - explains Rosati - we will ask to be received by the minister of agriculture and to have a direct relationship in important decisions with a permanent technical table".
For farmers there are "immediate points to address starting from the right price of the products".
Protesters held banners "We are fighting to save agriculture" and "We are not slaves to Europe".
Two tractors also reached the center of Rome.
"The citizens accepted our appeal - says Rosati - and several tricolors were waving as we passed by this morning".
