The Greek government has sparked controversy with a proposed amendment to ban protests at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a revered monument located outside the Parliament in Athens. The conservative administration, led by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, submitted the amendment on Tuesday, arguing that the site must be protected as a national symbol. However, opposition parties have vehemently criticized the move, labeling it as unconstitutional and an infringement on the right to free expression and assembly. The left-wing Syriza party even organized a protest in response on the same evening.
