  • [01] Strike suspends operation of open-air markets as of Monday

    ANA-MPA - Fruit and vegetable producers of open-air markets and sellers will hold a rally at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, the beginning of a long-term strike, tto protest a new draft bill promoted by the Development and Competitiveness ministry.

    The move suspends the operation of open-air markets until the issue is resolved.

    The producers and sellers will rally at downtown Athens' Kaningos Square and march to Parliament, while a similar rally will be held in northern Greece, at 9:00 a.m. in Kamara, Thessaloniki, where protesters will march to the Macedonia-Thrace ministry. They said the measures "are threatening 50,000 families and serve large interests."

    Among the contested articles in the bill, the federation of open-market producers and sellers mentioned the decision to allocate stalls by annual lottery, the right of municipalities to decide on the ceiling in the number of sellers at markets, the separation between producers and other sellers at the market, and the fines (ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 euros) and sanctions for transgressions, which they said in their majority also carry jail terms of three months to a year.
