In Greece, local communities and political figures have raised opposition to the installation of mobile phone antennas near schools and sensitive social facilities.

In Patras, the Municipal Council supported a resolution to remove an antenna in the Zarouchleika district following protests from residents and parents. The installation was noted for its proximity to a municipal center for people with disabilities and several educational institutions. Local officials criticized the telecommunications framework and recent changes to electromagnetic radiation exposure limits in Greece.

Similarly, in Karitsa, Pieria, members of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) submitted a parliamentary question demanding the removal of an antenna located adjacent to a kindergarten and primary school. This demand followed protests from parents and teachers, with representatives alleging that telecommunications policies prioritize network expansion over public safety.
