The leader of Italy's main farmers'
protest group said his members wanted "deeds" from the
government and described as "electioneering" Premier Giorgia
Meloni'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 mobilisation 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
resignation of (Farm) Minister (Francesco) Lollobrigida."
"We want deeds. We're only concerned about our campaigns, not
electoral campaigns".
