Description
Parked by the roadside in trucks and tractors covered in slogans, Romanian truck drivers and farmers protest against high taxes and rising costs. Gheorghe Fifea has been in position for close to two weeks now. "Taxes, they've all gone up" he says from the cabin of his tractor, "diesel prices are high. Materials used in agriculture are very expensive". Similar complaints are seen across Europe amid soaring fuel prices and increased competition from Ukrainian produce, a factor felt particularly keenly in Romania, which neighbours the war-torn country.
