  • [01] Hundreds of protesters march in Chios against government's migration policies

    Hundreds of Chiots marched in the center of Chios on Wednesday evening to protest the government's migration policy and demand the closure of hotspots on the island.

    The rally was organized by local committees which oppose what they described as the "conscious decision to turn the islands of the northern Aegean to open prisons."

    When the crowd gathered in the central square, four local committee heads took turns in speaking about the problems facing their communities. They criticized the government and local municipal authorities and decried the practices of some local NGOs and international organizations on the island. After the speeches, protesters walked to the port.

    [02] Civil aviation workers cancel Thursday's strike

    Civil aviation workers union OSYPA cancelled a called strike for Thursday after meeting with Infrastructure Minister Christos Spirtzis on Wednesday evening.

    The union had announced the strike as a protest to the government's draft bill which includes measures to restructure the Civil Aviation Authority. The strike would have started at 10:00 on Thursday and ended at midnight on Friday.

    OSYPA said it had a "fruitful dialog" with the minister and said it will brief its staff on Thursday. After the union's announcement, Aegean Airways and Olympic Air said all their flights will run as scheduled.
