Greece general strike disrupts transport
To protest price hikes amid spiralling inflation
09 November, 18:10Boat services from the mainland to the Ionian Islands and those in the Aegean Sea were also halted by the industrial action. It is the second such strike in Greece since September.
Energy-linked price hikes, largely fuelled by the ongoing war in Ukraine and sanctions on Russia, have sent inflation to its highest rate in three decades in Greece. "The cost of living is untenable," read a large poster for the country's biggest union, the GSEE, also calling for salary increases and "social protection for all". Several unions have called rallies around the country for later in the day. (ANSA-AFP).
