It is difficult for those who want to move to the center of Athens and not only because it is Friday, because of mobilizations against bill for non-state universities but also her International Women’s Day.
In the passing of the bill entitled “Strengthening the Public University – Framework for the operation of non-profit branches of foreign universities”which is expected to be voted on today, Friday, March 8, 195 student associations are reacting, who are participating in the rally and demanding the withdrawal of the bill, which provides – among other things – for the establishment of branches of foreign universities in our country.
“Everyone at the pan-Hellenic student rally on Friday, March 8, the day of the passing of the bill, at 12.00 in Propylaia! Let Athens sink”, is the central call of the student associations. On the side of the students, there will be the Federation of University Students, POSDEP, which calls with its unanimous decision to mobilize the sector as well as the Federation of Administrative Personnel of Tertiary Education (ODPTE).
Both have declared a strike for today.
Traffic regulations
In this context, in order to ensure the right of citizens to assemble, the Greek police will take the necessary traffic measures by implementing detours and traffic interruptions as the case may be, so that the social and economic life of the city is not excessively disturbed.
As reported by EL.AS. “The drivers of the vehicles are requested to avoid moving on the above roads until the completion of the gatherings – mobilisations. In case of application of additional traffic regulations, there will be a further update”.
