Crisis at Rizoleia Junction Due to Farmers' Protests
April 24, 2026
The circular junction at Rizoleia turned into a confrontation zone due to farmers' protests. Despite the government's attempts to reach a compromise, negotiations failed when it was announced that culling of infected animals could not be halted. Some farmers reportedly consider deliberately spreading the virus as a strategy to pressure authorities. The situation on the road was dramatic, with many drivers trapped for hours. The government warns that this tactic poses a risk to the local livestock industry.
