In October 2026, different Greek Bar Associations initiated strikes for distinct reasons. In Kalamata, the Bar Association announced a warning strike through October 9, 2026, in response to new security protocols at the Kalamata Judicial Complex. Lawyers protested being subjected to document and bag inspections, a measure they claimed was communicated verbally without consultation and deemed unacceptable for their status as collaborators of the justice system.

Later in the month, the Chalkida Bar Association announced a professional abstention on October 30, 2026. This strike was called following the death of attorney Tasia I. Georgakopoulou, with the association holding an emergency meeting to honor her colleague.
