Translator's note:
This summary is an attempt to present reports that paint an admittedly incomplete picture of the events throughout Greece, especially in the smaller cities and towns, since most reports focus on the situation in Athens, Thessaloniki, and Patras. Information from the centrist daily Eleftherotypia was used in this article.
