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.
