European farmers block borders and protest against EU agricultural policies.

European farmers block roads, occupy the Dutch-Belgian border, and protest in Greece and Brussels as part of a growing wave of demonstrations over farming price drops and excessive red tape. Protests in France, Belgium, Spain, and Italy involve farmers driving tractors to government buildings and using manure as a weapon against police. The protests are in response to burdensome regulations and low-cost imports, particularly from Ukraine, which are affecting farmers' income.EU agriculture ministers are meeting to discuss potential solutions to the crisis.
