Athens taxi drivers plan a 48-hour strike on November 5–6 to protest government measures they believe threaten their profession.

SATA said: “This policy ignores the real professional needs of taxi owners and drivers.” The strike highlights tensions between Greece’s green transition goals and the economic challenges faced by small business owners, particularly in the taxi sector.
