Greek students and teachers plan tent protest at Syntagma Square

Greek students and teachers are staging new protests today and tomorrow, including a rally and concert at Syntagma Square this evening where demonstrators plan to set up tents. Police are on alert to prevent incidents. A nationwide education rally is scheduled for Wednesday at noon at the Propylaea in Athens, with similar gatherings planned in other major cities. The civil servants' union ADEDY has called a work stoppage for Wednesday, demanding wage increases, permanent hiring, and fully public and free education. The protests echo recent unrest across Europe, with ADEDY expressing solidarity with movements in France, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, and Germany. The union cites high rent costs for students and staff shortages in universities as key grievances.
