Residents of Tycheros take to the streets to protest the rumored closure of the 7th Brigade ‘Sarantaporos,’ which has been a vital part of the community for 25 years. Participants, including students and local citizens, demand the preservation of their military presence for security and communal development. With a symbolic blockade on the national highway, local leaders emphasize that the decision to close the brigade is a political one, urging the government to halt any plans that would undermine the region’s stability and security.
