Ultimatum toward them You raised the prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who welcomed them to Maximus Palace. The main issue on the agenda of talks is security in universities, with Mr Mitsotakis heralding sanctions, which will reach up to the discount of their roles, as long as they do not meet their obligations.
‘There will be sanctions, They will be able to reach their role for those rectors and administrations that will not meet the obligations, “the prime minister said, adding that it is a non -negotiable prerequisite for everyone to feel safe in their schools. “Knowledge implies freedom, and in turn legitimacy,” he noted.
“I believe we all agree that we cannot tolerate an environment in which any student or teacher feels hostage bullshit and her violenceยป He stressed, adding that academic spirit and academic freedom mean that there is a spirit of dialogue.
Delicated over 48 occupations and arrested over 500 people
Mr Mitsotakis said that since 2019, when he took office, the government has restored the academic asylum, “By putting an end to a peculiar regime, the meaning of which he had been fired.”
“Since then, 48 occupations have been evacuated to the academic community, more than 500 arrests of people who had turned the institutions into hoodlums or asylum of criminal law criminal offenses,” he said. The purpose of the government’s dynamic effort is to quickly overthrow a situation that was built and charged with decades of minds. “The notion that nothing has changed is not the case and is wrong with the efforts,” he said.
On the contrary, according to Mr Mitsotakis, legitimacy is established, as students and teachers, administrations, gradually take their daily lives in their hands and society asks the obvious: to apply the law, a request “for the government for the government”.
Ten points – legislative interventions
The Prime Minister said that through the relevant Minister of Education Sofias Zacharaki Ten points will be announced, legislative interventions “that complement the already bold legislative framework we apply”.
“The experience and the constant evaluation of the performance of both the government and the judicial and police authorities and university administrations requires to constantly evaluate the measures implemented. And to fill them where we find gaps. So we want to close any hole that does not connect rights with obligations and sanctions. Everyone and each one must do our job properly and responsibly, and when this is not the case we are going to exist with similar sanctions, after we have first been held accountable, “he said.
Mr. Mitsotakis It paid special attention to the meeting, as, as he said, normalcy in university life is a condition for its evolution.
What did the prime minister ask for
The prime minister called on the rectors to present his clear planning for the training or updating of the security plans of institutions within the next two months.
He also requested the drafting of the internal regulations within 2025, to establish disciplinary per sector, to provide automatic sanctions on anyone who is illegal.
Sanctions will also be imposed on students who are charged with criminal prosecutions, which will lose their student status for up to 24 months.
Supreme Court’s deputy prosecutor will have the nationwide supervision
In order to accelerate the cases violence in HEIs, iA defined Supreme Court’s deputy prosecutor that will have their nationwide supervision. While – as already in schools – the repair of damage will be borne primarily at the urban level, not the Greek taxpayer.
The government is seeking to boost protection and control access to schools, while police will assist where needed. Also, each incident will be recorded in a National Violence Observatory for the Ministry.
“No design can be effective if there is no prevention culture, zero tolerance culture. The minorities can no longer be the universities. And where there is illegality, there can be no immunity. It is a one -way street … Everyone should take on the role it matters. We cannot hide behind our finger. Now is the opportunity – definitively and irrevocably, “he concluded.
