Yanis Varoufakis: The EU cartel was designed to crush farmers – Rural workers didn’t stand a chance

Manos, a sixth-generation farmer from Thessaly, put it to me bluntly when I asked him to explain why he was prepared to drive his tractor 400km to Athens to camp outside Parliament: “If I don’t, my farm will soon follow our village school, co-op, post office and bank branch into oblivion.” His story is neither novel nor confined to Greece.
