The de-escalation of gasoline prices in the Greek market continues, offering financial relief to drivers. The national average price of unleaded, which had reached a high of 2.14 euros per liter on May 22, is now following a downward trend. This development is considered significant for household budgets, as prices are falling during a period of increased travel.
A major Fire Department operation is underway in the Almyropotamos area of Karystos, Evia, due to a forest fire that broke out on Saturday afternoon. Authorities activated 112, the emergency service that sends warning messages to mobile phones. At the scene, 70 firefighters with 20 vehicles, as well as aerial means, are operating to contain the fire.
The Hellenic Police dismantled a criminal organization involved in the trafficking of women through a supposed "escort agency." According to authorities, four arrests were made. The members of the ring are accused of forcing their victims to use drugs in order to control them.
Minister of State, Akis Skertsos, presented details of the new "Judicial Map," describing it as a major reform for the country. The Judicial Map concerns the reorganization of courts and their areas of responsibility, aiming for faster administration of justice and better service for citizens.
