February 12, 2021 ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Student protesters hurled bottles, rocks and gasoline bombs at police in central Athens on Wednesday during nationwide demonstrations against an education bill that would allow police to patrol university campuses. In the capital, riot police used tear gas and detained two protesters after clashes broke out outside Parliament. Protests also turned violent in Greece’s second-largest city Thessaloniki. The centre-right government said it wants to establish a campus police force to stop university grounds from being used for illegal activities such as selling counterfeit goods or organising violent protests. “It is time to stop what has been going on for decades, and once and for all end this atmosphere of fear, intimidation and lawlessness in universities,” Education Minister Niki Kerameus said during the debate on the bill that includes other higher education reforms.
