Greece awakens 😇👕 On October 21, a nationwide wave of protests swept across Greece. In Athens, around 5,000 people gathered in Syntagma Square — university students, schoolchildren, teachers and civil servants. The protesters demand the adoption of concrete social measures: lower rents, increased housing subsidies, new dormitories, additional teaching positions and decent salaries. Public sector unions ADEDY and the teachers' federations DOE and OLME announced strikes, demanding a 20% pay increase, the restoration of the 13th and 14th salaries and a mass transition to permanent contracts. The protesters marched with red flags and chanted their demands, and the actions began with a performance of «The Internationale». Police deployed 3,000 officers to central Athens. 📉🏛 The current protests are a mirror of the problems of Greek society and economy: the minimum wage is 920 euros, rents are rising, many schools are in a state of disrepair, and the shortage of teachers reaches 15,000. These problems have been building up over the years. ⚠️⭐️ The protest demonstrates a demand for new power, an awakening from years of disillusionment and pessimism. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
