Crowds gathered outside the Greek Parliament to protest against the Education Bill that was being discussed inside. Demonstrators called for a rejection of the bill. New Democracy parliamentary spokesman Adonis Georgiadis also attended. Demotix/Michael Debets. Some rights reserved.
It is never too late for someone to be part of the resistance. Thus, we the old dissidents must welcome the 32, 58 or 1,000 colleagues who despised us only a few months ago, but have now taken to the streets protesting the legislation by Minister for Education, Aristides Baltas.[1]
It would be a shame for someone who has lived in Athens for the last five years not to have experienced the excitement of a rally at Syntagma square. I imagine that the presence of the usual ministerial suspects limited the ecstasy of the intellectuals but even the "indignant citizens" had an "upper" part of the square [where right-wing nationalists assembled].
