More than 200 university students’ unions, all over Greece are on strike. And the list is growing. The students through the decisions of their general assemblies decided to go on strike in order to oppose the new law concerning universities. They are opposing the reactionary education policy of the government. On Thursday, in Athens, Thessaloniki, Patra, Chania and Heraklio and other cities there were mass demonstrations against the law.
The students were chanting slogans against the privatization of universities, the abolishment of the asylum and the criminalization of students’ struggle. They also demanded to find jobs once they finished their studies.
Despite the police brutality and the assaults against the demonstrators in Athens, Chania and Xanthi, the students continue their struggle.
The solidarity to students’ movement is necessary to grow with the support of the workers and toilers.
The students’ movement can win this battle.
