The farmers actions starts at 12:30 with an attendance of about 300 people, doing street theater about Farmers and big business. At 12:40 hundreds of people march towards the harbour, with banners reading "Our planet not your business," and giving interviews about the mass arrests yesterday. Riot police walk alongside them and less than an hour later the police blocks the demonstration by surrounding it, taking the music truck away. Mass arrests start, and at about 14:45 coaches arrive to take people away. Read our eyewitness report.

At the same time the Via Campesina march has progressed more peacefully, but demonstrators found that police lines have their blocked access to the Klimaforum.  Live video feed of Via Campesina Farmers action.
