A representative of Italian farmers
protesting a range of issues will take to the stage of the
Sanremo Song Festival this week accepting the invitation of host
and organiser Amadeus, one of the leaders of the protest said
Monday.
"One of our representatives will go on stage at Sanremo," said
Danilo Calvani, leader of the Committee of Betrayed Farmers,
regarding Amadeus' invitation at the pre-festival press
conference.
"We are in contact with the Festival organisation to establish
the details," Calvani added.
Farmers in tractors protesting against national and European
policies, cheap imports, high costs and low agricultural prices
are making their way to Rome ahead of a demonstration in the
capital next week.
