Some 3,000 students had started their protest march at 5:30 pm from the Athens University, walked outside the Greek Parliament and moved to Polytechnic School, where they were attacked by police. The students wanted to enter the Polytechnic School and organize events for the anniversary of the Students’ Revolt in 1973 against the military dictatorship.

However in a debt-ridden country with thousands of social problems and millions of households biting on hunger cloth, no government can allow students stage “events” that could end up in a revolt. Right?
