Farmers protesting delays in subsidy payments forced their way onto the airfield of the international airport on the southern Greek island of Crete on Monday, evading riot police who used tear gas and stun grenades to keep them back.
Images from local media showed dozens of farmers standing on the apron at the Nikos Kazantzakis international airport in Heraklion, the main town on Crete, forcing the airport to suspend all flights.
