A bomb alert at the Greek Parliament set authorities in Athens in motion on Sunday afternoon after an unidentified person called the institution’s central number and warned of a possible explosion in the building.
The call that raised the alarm
According to initial information, the caller, identified only as a man, said that a bomb had been placed inside the Parliament premises. He spoke of an explosion, but did not provide an exact time or any specific deadline.
This detail leaves the real weight of the threat unclear, while authorities are treating the report as a security matter requiring immediate verification.
Special units began searches in the building
Immediately after the call, the responsible structures were mobilized at Parliament and searches began by TEEM, the unit for neutralizing explosive devices.
The focus of the operation remains verifying the threat and searching the building’s premises, while the official version so far describes it as a preventive intervention.
So far, no road closures and no suspicious object
According to reports so far, the roads around Parliament have not been closed, an indication that the situation is still being assessed on the ground without moving to broader isolation measures.
Also, up to this point, no suspicious object has been reported inside or near the building.
Police are investigating whether the alert was real or false
Greek police are investigating whether this is a real threat or a false alarm, a scenario that in such cases remains open until the searches are fully completed.
For now, the situation remains under verification and the available information is limited to what authorities have made public so far.
The incident has triggered mobilization in Greek security institutions, while the official response is expected to depend on the outcome of the searches at Parliament.
At this stage, there is no confirmation of the presence of an explosive device.
