kropotkindersurprise:February 10, 2021 - Thousands demonstrated and clashed with riot police in Athens and Thessaloniki in protest against a new right-wing education bill that would place police on university campuses, among other restrictive plans. This move is incredibly controversial in a country where the presence of police in universities has been banned since the 1980s. Police were barred from university campuses in Greece in 1982, in response to the Polytechnic uprising years earlier. In 1973, students protesting the country’s right-wing military dictatorship were brutally murdered by police and military forces at the Athens Polytechnic University. [video] -- source link
