Athens Prepares for Heavy Police Presence on December 6 Amid Anniversary Protests
On December 6, Athens will face significant traffic restrictions due to the anniversary of Alexandros Grigoropoulos’ assassination. The police will deploy 5,000 officers to maintain order during the anticipated protests, while public transport, including the Metro, will alter its schedule, closing certain stations based on police directives. Although no barriers will be set up near embassies, a strong police presence will ensure security. The situation will also see close monitoring of student protests and strict containment measures for evening demonstrations.
