All persons entering the Greek Parliament, including members of the government and the prime minister, are now going to be restricted to using the magnetic gateway that is equipped with metal detectors, the Parliament guard said this week. All entrances to Parliament are equipped with magnetic gateways, which were previously used for the staff and various aides.
On his part, parliamentary speaker Evangelos Meimarakis informed parties that all MPs would have to pass through metal detectors to enter the House and would not be allowed to bring guns into Parliament.
