Greek students staged fresh protestations outside the Ministry of
Education yesterday while they had a demonstration march to the Parliament
in the center of Athens.
Part of Panepistimiou Street was closed. Just before 3 pm local time, a group
of the hooded attacked a police car in that street.
Meanwhile, Greek Minister of Education Evripidis Stylianids sent a Christmas
message, saying "The ministry is willing to listen to the new generation and to
look into its views in the framework of the dialogue that will start in 2009."
Since a 15-year-old student was killed by shooting of police in a conflict on
Dec. 6, Greek young people launched a series of demonstrations condemning the
police as well as the government policy on education and economy.
