On stage are the farmers, representatives of local governments, members of ATO - all in one voice say: "We can not destroy those who feed the country." Before people go out several MPs who have expressed solidarity with the protesters.
The leader of the Agrarian Party stresses: farmers are not asking for benefits, they need to return an effective system of taxation, which gave the industry an opportunity to develop.
-Naspravdi, Farmers never had benefits. 17 years - from 1998 to 2015 - there was a unique system of taxation of the agricultural sector in Ukraine, which made it possible not only to increase production but also processing. Now the tax authorities are satisfied experiment in the field, which gives every other dollar in the budget of the country. Officials farmers strangled and suffocated the entire country - said Vitaly Skotsyk.
Protesters adopt a resolution with the basic requirements: 3581-1 to approve the bill, return tax system, which operated until January 1, 2015, to extend the moratorium on land sales.
Requirements farmers supported protests across Ukraine. Away from Khmelnitsky put about 200 tractors and combines. From the stage right on the highway, local farmers have expressed willingness to go to Kyiv if farmers again ignore.

Simultaneously, protests were held in 17 regions. Requirements farmers passed in parliament, president and prime minister. For the first time these 8 strikes that farmers conducted in recent years, the leadership of the Verkhovna Rada has shown readiness to meet people. Speaker Andrew Paruby meeting with the head of the Agrarian Party Vitaly Skotsyk pledged support to farmers.
- We promised that bill 3851-1 will be submitted to the hearing the next day agrarian Parliament. Representatives factions and members of the Agricultural Committee almost unanimously supported the request to return the tax system in effect before 1 January 2015. There is confidence that the moratorium on sale of agricultural land will continue. At the same time, very sad to hear the position of the Deputy Ministry of Agriculture, who said that the tax system should be changed using direct support programs, and on the land issue they have their vision. Oddly enough, but it seems that the main requirements of farmers opponent is just the ministry - said Vitaly Skotsyk after the meeting.
After talks with the Speaker of Parliament strike was over. However, participants promise: if they again try to cheat, they will return, and tractors that were on the tracks, go to Kyiv, and with them - and millions of Ukrainian.
