A protest is currently taking place outside the Parliament in response to the resolution passed by the Parliament's Plenary, which labels George Grivas Digenis "unworthy of any kind of honor."

Protesters carrying Greek flags have begun to gather at the site, and police officers are on hand to prevent any incidents.

The road leading to the Parliament has been blocked.
