Striking taxi owners on Tuesday carried out a march in the centre of Athens to protest against government plans for the liberalisation of the taxi services sector.
Thousands of owners from areas throughout Greece, from Crete to Corfu and northern Greece to Kalamata, gathered outside the offices of the taxi owners' federation SATA in Marni Street and set off shortly after 4:00 p.m. heading for Syntagma Square opposite Parliament.
The march aims to arrive in Syntagma shortly before ruling Pasok's Parliamentary working group for labour issues is convened at 6:00 p.m. so that Infrastructure, Transport and Networks Minister Yiannis Ragoussis can explain his policies concerning the taxi sector to MPs. (ANA)
