The week begins with renewed strike actions from taxi drivers across Greece. The Attica Taxi Drivers' Union has called for a three-day strike on Tuesday, February 17, Wednesday, February 18, and Thursday, February 19. Additionally, taxis across the country will halt services for two days, specifically on February 17 and 18. The union's president, Thymios Lyberopoulos, has indicated that a permanent strike could be initiated if the government proceeds with discussing the proposed transportation legislation.

The key demands outlined by the taxi drivers' union include a push for electric vehicle usage without coercive transitions, clear regulations distinguishing the services of taxis from private vehicles, and measures against unfair competition from multinational firms. They also seek guaranteed access for loaded taxis to special traffic lanes and a revision of tax policies currently seen as burdensome. According to Lyberopoulos, the Ministry of Transport is not engaging in constructive dialogue and instead is perceived to be imposing decisions without consideration for the concerns raised by the drivers.

These strike actions are viewed as a critical response against what drivers feel is a systematic degradation of their profession and the impromptu changes to policies impacting their livelihoods. The protests signal an escalating climate of unrest within the industry, pointing to deeper concerns about how transportation services are structured and regulated in Greece, as well as the balance of power between local operators and multinational corporations.
