The Greek government is in a state of readiness ahead of the scheduled student and pupil protests expected to take place today. Authorities are closely monitoring developments, as these gatherings are expected to have a high turnout from various social groups.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis held a meeting with the Minister of Citizen Protection, Michalis Chrisochoidis, to discuss security measures. The government's goal is to ensure normalcy on the streets of Athens and other major cities, avoiding incidents of tension.
The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) is also actively participating in the protests, increasing the volume of demonstrators. Authorities have taken strict measures to avoid incidents, emphasizing that public order and the safety of citizens are an absolute priority for the state.
The government sent a clear message in every direction, underlining that it will not allow conditions of chaos to be created. Police forces will be stationed at central points in the cities with the aim of protecting public and private property during the marches.
Citizens are urged to be particularly careful in their movements, as traffic regulations and road closures are expected in the center of Athens. The situation remains under surveillance, while authorities are appealing for the peaceful conduct of the scheduled protests.
