💣 Grenade

Authorities in Athens were alerted today to a suspicious object resembling a hand grenade found in a park in Haidari, prompting a security alert and police response. This incident marks a new development in domestic security concerns. Separately, the government has submitted a presidential decree for a marine park in the South Aegean to the Council of State, a move that comes as research for the Greece-Cyprus electricity interconnector approaches its deadline. Protests by students, university students, and workers are also underway in Athens, with demonstrations planned for Syntagma Square and Propylaea. In other news, concerns have been raised about potential threats to life due to issues with building permits, highlighting legislative gaps. A rescue operation successfully saved 70 migrants south of Crete, while the Lasithi Plateau experienced flooding that destroyed crops but also provided some relief for water scarcity.
