Despite the fact that the discount season has begun, and the shops were supposed to be open on the first Sunday, i.e. On July 16, the authorities said that most likely this would not happen.
Merchandise stores may remain closed. Extreme heat “Cleon”, in all likelihood, will force people to stay at home (or, in extreme cases, in nature near the water).
Recall that traditionally on the first weekend of summer sales, stores are open on Sundays. However, this time Citizens Protection Services opposed it, citing “extreme weather conditions”, deciding that it would be better for everyone to “stay at home” than to let shopaholics roam the city center, scouring for purchases when the asphalt literally melts.
The situation, especially in urban centers, is expected to be unbearable, the thermometers are going through the roof. Therefore, according to preliminary information, on July 16, the first Sunday of the summer sale, stores will remain closed.
Speaking on SKAI 100.3 radio, Development Minister Kostas Skrekas said that in consultation with the leadership of the Athens Chamber of Commerce, which will take place on Thursday, July 13, a decision will be made whether to open stores this Sunday or move shopping to the next (23/7 ).
