Argentina-Farmers throw eggs at politicians.

ARGENTINA.

FARMERS ANGRY.

A group of farmers on Monday staged a protest against ruling party deputy Augustin Rossi after he visited city hall in Luguana.

The demonstrating farmers threw eggs and tomato’s at him, also at his car when he was leaving the town.

The protest was strongly condemned by the government and the farmers groups in Argentina.

The incident was not spontaneous as the farmers were armed with the eggs and fruit, prior to his speaking.

More than 20 farmers from the local area who were demanding measures to tackle the current financial and drought crisis were responsible for the actions.

The farmer leaders say they are concerned that violence is going to follow, " Even though the national government refuses to solve the farmers problems, this method of protest is not acceptable and citizens should not exercise their right to protest in this manner" said an official statement from the Farmers Liaison Group.
