The massive protests by farmers in Greece continue unabated. In Crete, the situation has spiraled out of control, as farmers' protests have turned into violent clashes.
Farmers were seen chasing police with traditional sticks and stones, and they even overturned a patrol car.

Heraklion Airport was closed after hundreds of farmers entered the runway, disrupting flights.

Chania airport was also blocked and will remain closed until this afternoon. Two flights from Athens and Rhodes were forced to cancel due to the chaos. Photos from the scene show violent clashes that have turned the area into a battle scene.

Farmers warn of continued protests and the expansion of blockades across the country. In some districts, police have withdrawn after violent clashes with protesters.

In Crete, hundreds of agricultural vehicles have headed towards the port and the "Nikos Kazantzakis" airport.

In other parts of Greece, blockades have been set up on main roads and highways. Farmers in the Peloponnese and Attica have joined forces in a joint action plan.

Several border crossings with North Macedonia and Bulgaria have been blocked for hours.

Authorities warn of further traffic disruptions throughout the day. Protesters say they will not back down until the government accepts their demands.
