ROME – Farmers were blocking Rome’s ring road on Friday, between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m., a spokesperson for Riscatto Agricolo said. At least 500 tractors showed up to protest.
The spokesperson, Salvatore Fais, said that they confirmed all procedures with the police headquarters.
He said that it will be this evening because the protests would cause “too much confusion during the day.” Four tractors representing the group are also expected to enter Rome “without causing inconvenience” and will try to ask for a meeting with the Minster of Agriculture, Francesco Lollobrigida.
