[Greece] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 9, 2025, labor unions GSEE and ADEDY organized a peaceful protest in Kastoria, Greece, as part of a 24-hour nationwide general strike over cost-of-living pressures. The demonstration had low attendance and focused on demands for wage increases and housing crisis relief.

Supply-chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. If the general strike gains broader participation beyond this single location, it could potentially affect Greek port operations, manufacturing, and transportation networks, though the low attendance suggests minimal immediate disruption risk.

Watch points

• Monitor whether the general strike expands to other Greek cities or gains momentum in subsequent labor actions
• Track participation levels in key economic sectors like shipping, manufacturing, and logistics that could affect regional supply chains
