Greek farmers scale back protest
ATHENS, Greece (AP) _ Protesting farmers have begun scaling back highway blockades across Greece that had increased pressure on the country's Socialist government amid a financial crisis caused by mounting debts. Farmers began their campaign in mid-January to demand higher and faster subsidy payments, but began removing blockades Friday despite the government's adamant refusal to increase any payments to support crop prices. The move came as a relief for Prime Minister George Papandreou who is facing a growing wave of strikes over austerity measures aimed at curbing Greece's runaway deficit. Protesting farmers at the Greek-Bulgarian border have refused to comply with their colleagues decision and are vowing to maintain their tractor blockade under their demands are met.
