Emergency traffic restrictions are in effect in downtown Athens, starting at noon on Thursday, March 14, 2024, due to a protest rally organized by student associations and educational unions against the bill for private universities.
In order to ensure the right of the citizens to assemble, the Greek police will implement diversions and traffic stoppages, so as not to disturb the social and economic life of the city excessively.
In particular, the traffic measures will be applied gradually and on a case-by-case basis – where necessary and depending on the movement of the demonstrators – in the streets surrounding the Propylaia, Omonoia Square (Patision, Aiolou, etc.), Syntagma Square (Othonos, Amalia Avenues) and Vasilissis Sofias.
The police have appealed to the drivers to avoid moving on the above-mentioned roads until the end of the demonstration.
