The city's center was blocked off to traffic earlier on Tuesday, as pandemic restrictions forbade public crowding for events commemorating Athens Polytechnic Day. Minor clashes between police and people who attempted to break the ban ensued in the afternoon.
Police had announced on Monday that metro stations Omonia, Panepistimiou, Syntagma, Evangelismos, and Megaro Mousikis (Athens Concert Hall) would shut down at 12:00 on Tuesday. Following the clashes downtown, several other stations were also shut down: Metaxourgeio, Monastiraki, Victoria, Attiki, Sepolia and Stathmos Larissis.
