The Minister of Education, Religions and Sports, Sofia Zacharakiafter cleaning the occupation site within the University of Athens, he said:
“Universities as places of knowledge and passage of life values, are the property of the citizens. The people who support their taxes, public education. This is the picture that our children deserve.
Legal before and after. After 30 years of occupations, the spaces are clean, they are returned to students, teachers and staff. Cooperation with the Ministry of Citizen Protection and the Rediah of the NCSR will continue. We know that needs and open issues are many years.
But security and real freedom in universities is a non -negotiable twin for the ND government. From the beginning.
The goal is all of us a public university that inspires respect, where the security, the dignity of the students are not a demand, but a self -evident reality. A university in which knowledge, research and democratic participation are acquired.
The state will ensure them consistently. The Ministry of Education, in close cooperation with all and primarily the Rectors, will proceed with perseverance and determination. The question is to change model and culture. ”
