A meeting held on Sunday to coordinate the state’s response to the “Medea” cold front has decided to ban the circulation of trucks between the cities of Larisa and Athens, ANA reports.
The meeting was co-chaired by Citizen Protection Minister Michalis Chrisochoidis and Deputy Civil Protection and Crisis Management Minister Nikos Hardalias.
As the bad weather reached Attica, Chrisochoidis said that the first wave of bad weather has passed over northern Greece and is heading to the southern parts of the country. He left open the possibility of extending the ban on heavy goods vehicles to the Peloponnese if the conditions require this, saying this will be re-examined during a meeting to be held on Monday.
“Our goal is for the roads to stay open,” Chrisochoidis said, stressing that roads will stay open. “I want to send a message to all the residents of Attica, Evia, and the surrounding region. We will be tested in the coming hours but the mechanism is extremely efficient.”
