STORYLINE:
Thousands of Greek farmers continued to protest in Athens' main Syntagma Square outside Parliament on Saturday, against government plans to impose new tax hikes and overhaul the pension system.
Farmers were joined for the second day of the protest by union members, including members of the Communist party affiliated union, PAME.
Farming associations have been blockading highways with tractors for more than two weeks, forcing traffic into lengthy diversions to protest a planned overhaul of the country's troubled pension system.
So far, farmers have refused talks with the government, insisting the pension reform plan must be repealed.
Bailout lenders are demanding that Greece scrap tax breaks for farmers and impose pension reforms that will lead to higher monthly contributions from the self-employed and salaried employees.
