An anti-abortion advertising campaign was removed on Monday from Athens’ metro system by order of Transport Minister Kostas Karamanlis, after the public reaction, ANA reports.
In an announcement, the transport ministry clarified that neither it nor the government were aware of this campaign and pointed out how it ran “against a fully enshrined and undeniable right of women.”
In particular, said the ministerial statement, “checking and approving the content of the ads posted on the metro is the sole responsibility of the Urban Rail Transport SA (STASY) administration, a task that must be carried out with responsibility and social conscience.”
