They gathered to protest the current incident of extreme repression and the climate of terrorism imposed by the ND on the universities
Students have gathered outside GADA at this time, in order to express their anger about today’s pogrom of police repression that took place at Zografou Polytechnic.
The students who saw their fellow student fall under the wheels of the police car while going to give a lesson for the examination at the School of Electrical Engineering of the Polytechnic, are protesting about what happened today, but also about the general climate of terrorism that prevails in schools with the ND government.
Nasos Iliopoulos spoke of a “police riot” from the scene, “which hit people in the pile”. “Another story of institutional lawlessness with the police injuring students who had nothing to do with the charges they are trying to bring against them,” he said speaking to Kokkino.
Speaking to avgi.gr, Giorgos Lykopantis, member of the Board of Directors. of F.S. Panteiu and secretary of the student group SYRIZA, explains that this is “yet another police attack that has become a regularity in Greek universities in the last five years”.
“At the moment when dozens of students were at their school to be examined in their courses, the police in the role of “sheriff” invaded Zografou University of Technology, brought in students, while also injuring one of our fellow students,” he adds.
The student, in fact, accuses the government that “while the whole country is burning from one end to the other, the government chooses to disorient Greek society by once again targeting the young generation”.
“Finally, we want to denounce the unacceptable attitude of Rector Boutouvis, who during the days of his own administration has turned the Polytechnic into a male police democracy”, declares Giorgos Lykopantis.
Many of the people brought in by the police are students, but also PhD candidates who happened to be in the surrounding area, the NTUA Administrative Staff Association says in a statement, denouncing the “unprovoked attack”.
At the same time, the administrators request “that our students who were brought in unnecessarily be released now.”
