[fse-esf] student movement in Greece

[Yannis Almpanis]

About 25.000 students demonstrated yesterday in the streets of Athens. There 
were also demonstration in other cities of Greece. In Athens, the 
demonstration ended with violent clashes between police and demonstrators. 
The police attacked the students in an axtremely brutal way: tenths of tear 
gaz bombs were thrown against the main body of the demonstration, many 
demonstrators were heavily beatten, more than 40 were arrested. For many 
hours the traffick was stopped in the center of Athens which looked like a 
gaz chamber.

Right now, about 350 university departments are occupied. At the same time 
university professors are on strike. Students and professors are protesting 
against the establishement of private universities and the limitaiton of the 
time of studies. The right wing goverment is going to vote a new Consitution 
and  a new law that will impose a series of neoliberal reforms in the 
education system.

This is the strongest students movement since 1991.
