More than 1,000 protesters from central Greece travelled to the northern city, accompanied by a convoy of about 50 tractors. Displaying black flags and flashing emergency lights, they used the vehicles to block central roads in Thessaloniki during the night-time rally.

Echoing similar grievances and demonstrations across Europe in recent months, Greek farming associations have been protesting for several weeks, demanding government support on various issues, including crop losses caused by climate change.
