The leader of Italy's main farmers
protest said Wednesday that a planned tractor parade around Rome
some time next week would involve thousands of vehicles and
could see them roaming around the historic Circus Maximus.
"We are expecting thousands of vehicles, including tractors and
trucks, for next week's demonstration in Rome that could be held
at the Circus Maximus," said Danilo Calvani, leader of CRA
Farmers Betrayed.
"Tomorrow the mobilisation will start and the garrisons around
the capital will begin to fill up," he went on.
"We do not know the exact day of the demonstration, but
presumably (it will be) in the second half of next week.
"We don't want flags of parties, trade unions, or politicians.
"We are apolitical".
Meanwhile a smaller group will drive its tractors around the
Rome ring road this Friday.
