Schaeuble comes, Greeks go… Αthenians are going to be in real trouble tomorrow due to the visit of German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, Not only the city center will be cordoned and public gatherings are banned by the police, public transport means will not be able to operate as usual .
Metro stations <Syntagma> and <Evangelismos> will be closed for the public as of 9:30 a.m. It is not clear when they will open again. Probably when Schaeuble leaves Athens.
Metro stations <Katechaki> and <Megaron Moysikis> will be close for the public between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 noon and between 6 a.m. and midnight.
The metro wagons will just pass through these stations but no passenger will be allowed to get in or off.
The tram will not operate until Syntagma end station as of 9:30 a.m.
So much trouble for just one Schaeuble… Can you imagine, if the whole family would come for an Athens visit?
Why didn’t they plan the meeting on a yacht in the nice and calm Saronic Gulf?
*sigh*
Can I ask where you have found the informaiton about… “Metro stations and will be close for the public between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 noon and between 6 a.m. and midnight.” and is this definitely happening on the 18th? Thanks
