Tomorrow, Wednesday 22.09, is the day when the government is planning to vote in the law “opening up” truck driving, so far a closed profession (for more background on the strike, follow our lorry drivers tag). In response, approximately 1.500 lorry drivers are currently (13.00 GMT+2) gathered outside their union’s office in Piraeus Avenue in central Athens, soon to set off on a march to the parliament. Hundreds of lorries are parked up in the exits of Athens and Thessaloniki and the lorry drivers have declared they are determined to continue their struggle.

More info as it comes.
