“Agriculture. As a child you dream of her, as an adult you die of her” shouted the farmers, while they tried to set fire to tires a few meters away from the European Council building.
The police, for their part, brought water cannons to the scene before the piles of tires caught fire.
In fact, the farmers face the police forces throwing oranges at them
It is worth noting that earlier this month, incidents took place in a similar demonstration with farmers setting hay bales on fire, while throwing eggs and firecrackers at heavy police forces, during a summit of EU leaders.
