Greek fishermen hungry for a cause
On Monday, after a day of demonstrations by Greek fishermen, against a government decision to allow trawling in near-shore waters, 19 fishermen started a hunger strike outside the ministry building in favor of sustainable fisheries and marine reserves. As a result of the demonstration, the Greek Fisheries Minister had to cut short his attendance at yesterday’s EU Council meeting and fly back to Greece.
The Minister refused to revoke the decision but seems to be coming to the bargaining table to hear what including fishermen, NGOs, scientists have to say.
