The ban was issued by the Director of the Southeast Attica Police, citing potential severe disruption to the local social and economic activities. The restrictions aim to prevent interruptions in traffic flow and ensure unobstructed access to public services, utility organisations, hospitals, and essential infrastructure.

Police spokespersons emphasized the importance of this action, noting that the assembly could significantly hinder the functioning of vital societal institutions and the supply of essential goods. This preemptive measure reflects the authorities’ efforts to maintain civic order and safeguard the community’s daily operations.
