Farmers return to blockade the European Quarter in Brussels .
After the double siege carried out at the beginning and end of February to contest EU policies, around a hundred tractors are gathering this morning near the headquarters of the main EU institutions .
Some fires were set in Place du Luxembourg , in front of the European Parliament buildings, an area already attacked on 1 February.
A symbolic action is instead expected starting from 10.30 am at the crossroads between rue de la Loi and rue du Taciturne , near the headquarters of the Commission and the European Council.
In total, between 300 and 500 tractors are expected.
While recognizing some "progress", European farmers continue to judge the proposals put on the table by the executive led by Ursula von der Leyen as "insufficient", highlighting the need to address "the root causes" of their discontent and calling for fair wages and end of international free trade agreements.
