Tougher penalties against those employing illegal migrants, incentives for couples to live in the city center and the price of a ticket plus 200 euros to migrants that voluntarily leave the country, were among measures decided during a government meeting on reviving the center of Athens held on Monday. The meeting was chaired by Prime Minister George Papandreou.
Other measures included a sweep to collect abandoned cars, increased policing and urban renewal projects that simultaneously made use of abandoned buildings.
The meeting was attended by several top ministers.
