Greece's labour unions are calling for mass participation in the strike and rallies for May Day on Thursday, May 1. Specifically, the General Confederation of Greek Workers (GSEE) have scheduled a rally together with the Athens Labor Center at 11:00 on Thursday at Klafthmonos Square.
This Athens-Boston partnership aims to address critical urban issues, from overtourism to climate and housing crises, while fostering innovation and cultural exchange.
Mitsotakis emphasised that "affordable housing is a right for everyone and an obligation of the State," and noted that Tuesday's announcements were the result of a prudent and successful fiscal policy: "This is what allowed us to surpass our fiscal targets and return the surplus to citizens through targeted policies."
