The “white out” came after a convoy of 37 tractors and two milk tankers partially blocked the A6 motorway and then blockaded the area of Boulevard JF Kennedy in front of the European Convention Center.
They unleashed the milky protest on the building next to the Council of Agriculture Ministers, spraying a few police officers in the process.
The convoy of farmers was escorted by police while diversions were put in place in Kirchberg to ensure that regular traffic was able to continue moving through the capital’s European district.
Police will later escort the protestors when they return to Belgium.
The protest was called as discussions get underway for new aid following the abolition of the milk quota system. The price of milk has fallen steadily in Europe in recent months where supply has exceeded demand.

Además, reconoció la labor de los empresarios de las firmas locales y aseguró que están «esperanzados» con la negociación entre SanCor y Adecoagro.
