Militant Demonstration of Workers and Students in Greece
On Tuesday, July 23, Unions of University Students and Workers held a militant demonstration in
Athens in front of the Greek Parliament to express their opposition to the plans of the Greek
Government to attack Public Education and students’ rights.
The Unions stated that even in the middle of summer, if the new Government attempts to forward
bills against the rights of Students, it will meet strong response by the organized students and
workers’ movements.
The Unions’ demands are:
Education and Research to be in the service of the society and not of the business groups
Student Care of high quality
Permanent staff in Universities for efficient security and sanitation services
Hiring of Permanent Teaching Staff
Increase of funding to the level of our needs
