Waves of protests are shaking Greece as the consequences of the Middle East energy crisis hit citizens. Gas stations are closing, livestock farmers and taxi drivers are striking, and pressure on the government is growing.

The price of gasoline in Greece reached two euros per liter, forcing gas station owners to protest due to limited margins. On the island of Lesbos, gas stations began an indefinite strike.

Livestock farmers are facing drastically increased costs for fuel and animal feed, while taxi drivers are demanding subsidies to cover rising operational costs.

The situation in Greece is an indicator of the broader consequences the energy crisis is causing across Europe, where rising fuel prices directly affect the daily lives of citizens and the functioning of small businesses.
