Farmers of Norway March in Oslo

From 13.00, the farmers mounted a procession through central Oslo to the  parliament building (Stortinget) in protest at the size of the government’s proposed increase to the subsidies. 

The government last week had decided to limit the increase to subsidies to 150 million NOK, a 10th of what farmers demanded.
