Farmers from various regions have called for a slow march this Friday, with gatherings scheduled in Serpa and Vila Nova de São Bento, both located in the Beja district. Participants are expected to meet in Serpa at 7:00 AM and in Vila Nova de São Bento at 7:30 AM, according to available information.

The demonstration, organized in response to rising production costs, is anticipated to involve around 80 tractors and other vehicles, as mentioned by the consulted sources. Farmers hope this action will bring visibility to their financial difficulties.

Participants will travel along the EN260 road, departing from Serpa towards Vila Nova de São Bento, where the final gathering is expected to take place. The slow march is designed to draw attention to the adverse conditions faced by the agricultural sector.

Since early morning, farmers have been preparing for the event, which is part of a series of protests that have been increasing recently due to the rise in agricultural input prices and other operational expenses.

This event arises in the context of a larger mobilization that has attracted public attention and media coverage, aiming to demand effective measures that help farmers remain in the market.

Organizers hope that the slow march will achieve its purpose of alerting authorities about the precarious situation many farmers find themselves in, ensuring that their voices are heard.
