gathered outside the Athens University
in the center of the capital and marched to the
nearby parliament building.
As a new university student,
I feel that there is a dark future for students in Greece. There
are no jobs, there is no stability.
We don't know if we will finish our degree in the years
that we are supposed to or if they will expel us.
There is a great deal of uncertainty.
Students and teachers took
to the streets around Greece demanding higher state funding
for education also better facilities less crowded
classrooms echoing protesters and their concerns
in other european countries as well thousands of these school
and university students demonstrated
in greece's second largest city in northern greece
as well holding placards showing solidarity with
students
in france
and speaking of
france remember
the situation
there has been
volatile over the
last few days and weeks. In fact,
targeted curfews across the country now have kicked in over the
past two nights in several parts affected by the chaos,
which the government said had helped
reassert control. In fact, Paris was under a second night of curfew.
The turmoil, remember,
shocked France because of both its scale
and also the apparent inability of the police to contain it.
This also comes ahead
of the presidential elections next year, remember. In fact,
it's not just attention on the streets.
There are also verbal attacks being exchanged after
Donald Trump earlier slammed Macron and commented on the France unrest,
blaming immigration for
that unrest. The French president now condemning comments
by foreign leaders. Listen to what he
said. For me, there is no visible foreign interference
in the events that took place.
On the other hand, there was foreign manipulation
of information afterwards. Yes,
And that gave rise to unacceptable
and stupid comments from many people, including foreign leaders.
That is to say, we saw AI-generated images showing scenes
that never happened in France.
We had people claiming that we had been invaded by hordes of migrants
and Islamists, which is completely false.
In Albania, protesters threw petrol bombs
at the police on Tuesday night.
Police used water cannons during the clashes and demonstrations,
demanding the prime minister's resignation.

to government buildings and banks, allegedly.
smashed shop windows reportedly
and pulled up pavement stones to throw at the police allegedly.
In Italy,
the Prime Minister held
a cabinet meeting
on Tuesday to approve
new security measures
also targeting minors after days of the unrest marked
by clashes with the police, looting, vandalism.
In fact, the government announced the deployment
of 500 additional army troops in Milan
to work alongside the police forces
and tighten security there through the end of the year.
The measure has come after hundreds of hooded protesters,
many believed to be minors,
set bins ablaze and looted shops in Milan
and other parts allegedly over the weekend
after initially peaceful demonstrations
over poor public services and rising costs.
And there is in fact a common thread running through
these protests in different parts
as people rise up and take to the streets.
Youth across Europe, in France, in Italy, in Albania,
and in many countries in Europe are all facing the exact same issues.
The enemy is the same.
The reasons that are bringing us out onto the streets are the same.

Indonesia has also witnessed volatile scenes.

the president's policies

than just protests
these are people rising up in anger these are demands for change
and the growing frustration
in different parts is palpable
