Metro stop in Syntagma blocked by the police

Earlier today, October 18th, the Athens Urban Transport Organization (OASA) notified the passengers that its administration was ordered by the police to close all entrances at the Syntagma and Evangelismos metro stations during the two days of the general strike (October 19th–20th). It is obvious that the Greek State is trying to sabotage the strike mobilizations by prohibiting an easy access to the city centre with this despicable measure. It remains to be seen whether the metro workers will factually disobey the cops’ order and open the subway stations to the people.
