The leader of Italy's main farmers' protest group said his members wanted "deeds" from the government and described as "electioneering" Premier GiorgiaMeloni's claim to have defended Italian farmers long before the current round of protests with roving tractors.
"For the moment we haven't had any contact with Palazzo Chigi," said the leader of Farmers Betrayed, Danilo Calvani, commenting on Meloni's claims.
"By launching the mobilization that will start tomorrow in Rome we have given the government a five-day ultimatum to get out of all EU treaties that are killing agriculture and for the designation of (Farm) Minister (Francesco) Lollobrigida." 're only concerned about our campaigns, not electoral campaigns".
