Greece’s Education Minister has threatened to block protesting students from the compulsory e-classes if they continue to occupy schools at the expense of an increase number of “absence” in their records. She went further and said even to mark their “behavior” as “bad.”
Short before the protest rally concluded in downtown Athens, a group of unknown people hurled stones, flares and Molotov cocktail bombs at riot police that responded with tear gas.
Άλλο ένα παιδαγωγικό μέτρο της κυβέρνησης μετά τις απειλές, τς εισαγγελείς κ τις προσαγωγές μαθητών.
Χημικά κ καταστολή στην μεγάλη διαδήλωση στην Αθήνα.
Τα αιτήματα των μαθητών είναι δίκαια κ θ νικήσουν.
Μαζί τους μέχρι τέλους.#energoimathites #Κεραμεως #σχολεια #καταληψεις pic.twitter.com/D7iapCUWjz— Covid19energoi (@Covid19energoi) October 1, 2020
The use of tear gas at high-school children, nurses and doctors seems to be the only “creative” way the Greek government thinks as appropriate to deal with problems that shake the Greek society amid the pandemic.
With restrictions and punishment only authoritarian regimes “solve” problems… But it’s not only Kerameos’ fault. It it the government that does not want to spend on education and health.
