Tensions between left wing student activists and the police have been on the rise since the centre-right New Democracy came to power in July
Tensions between the Greek police and student activists, leftists and anarchists are on the rise, only four months after a right-wing party swept snap legislative elections.
Demonstrators marched from Klafthmonos Square in central Athens, passed the Hellenic Parliament, and stopped at the US embassy, where they chanted against American imperialism. In July, the right-wing New Democracy party ousted Syriza in legislative elections. The following month, the government pushed through parliament a law that repealed campus sanctuary – which barred police from entering university campuses.
Throughout the week following the AUEB incident, thousands of students took to the streets of Athens, while left-wing student groups went on strike and occupied several departments on university campuses around the country. “It is evident that New Democracy is promoting a policy of conservative restoration that goes hand-in-hand with neo-liberal measures,” he told TRT World, referring to the party’s economic programme.
