Police Officers Protest New Working Hours Outside Parliament

Members of the 'Equality' trade union are protesting outside Parliament while the Parliamentary Legal Committee discusses changes to police working hours. The union describes the Chief of Police's decision on the new schedule as a constitutional deviation and arbitrariness, arguing that it deprives police officers of valuable rest time. According to 'Equality', annual leave days are drastically reduced. Representatives of the police and the Chief of Police, Themistos Arnautis, have been invited to the Committee to express their views and answer questions from MPs.
