According to a relevant decision, on Friday and Saturday, November 15-16, the Patission building will open at 09:00 and close at 20:00 “or even earlier, if deemed appropriate, for the security of the complex by the Celebration Committee”, while on Sunday, November 17, the gates of the Polytechnic will open again at 09:00 and are scheduled to close at 13:00, in order for the established march to the US embassy to take place.
