Greece Hit by Nationwide Student Strike and Protests

Thousands of students, teachers, and workers across Greece went on strike and took to the streets in Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras, and Larissa on October 21, protesting against increased education costs, housing issues, and precarious working conditions. The strike affected various sectors, including schools, public services, and healthcare. Protesters demanded wage increases, permanent hiring, and improved infrastructure. Students also called for measures to tackle high rents and housing difficulties. The protests were part of a larger pan-European movement focusing on education, housing, and the cost of living.
