Farmers from the eastern Rhodopes protest today near Bulgaria’s Kardzhali because of low milk purchase prices and non-payment of subsidies. In addition to the resignation of Minister of Agriculture Rumen Porozhanov, farmers also demanded that subsidies be harmonized with those in other EU Member States.
