Thousands protested in Athens and Thessaloniki amidst a general strike against rising living costs, with unions demanding urgent action from the government for worker welfare.
The Greek General Confederation of Labour (GSEE) emphasized the necessity of government measures for a decent life for workers, stating, "the prosperity of society depends on that of the workers."
Esther Lynch from ETUC highlighted urgent needs, asserting, "Urgent action is needed to fight the surge in prices, unaffordable housing, and the persistence of low wages."
As public services shut down, outrage over rising living costs reflected a broader discontent with the current government's policies despite proposed wage increases planned for 2025.
