[01] Police ordered to open Acropolis; contract workers had closed site
A police operation was underway at present outside the gates of the
Acropolis in central Athens to open the pre-eminent archaeological
site, which has been closed since Wednesday morning by up to 200
culture ministry contract employees.
The latter are demanding permanent status.
A lawsuit was filed by the chief of the local police precinct with an
Athens first instance prosecutor, leading to the go-ahead for the
operation.
Protesting contract workers had locked the gates leading to the
Acropolis with chains, thereby keeping out hundreds of tourists seeking
to visit Greece's best-known and most frequented archaeological site.
