On December 10th more than 10.000 students and allies marched in the center of Athens. High school, university, and technical students, as well as teachers and professors, demanded free public education and job guarantees. Even the bourgeois media reported that it was one of the biggest demonstrations for students’ rights in recent years.
Threats by school administrators couldn’t keep young people away from the demonstration. By early morning, students were coming from all around Greece in buses, trains, and ships.
The marchers also expressed support for public education and denounced the privatization policies of the European Union.
After the event, the High School Students of Athens, the University Student Union, and the Technical School Students vowed to remain united after the event and to initiate new campaigns.

Cuba: Student Protest US Provications
|
On December 20 in Havana, 5,000 Cuban students and youth condemned US policy against the island, namely the latest provocations from the US Interests Section, which represents Washington’s interests in Havana. Several speakers rejected "interference by the George W. Bush administration."
The December 20 event was held to celebrate the 82nd anniversary of the Federation of University Students (FEU).
Freddy Fernández, leader of the Federation of Students in Intermediate Education, recalled US crimes in countries such as Iraq, and accused James Cason (head of the USIS) of being a false diplomat because of the subversive and destabilizing activities he carries out in Cuba.
Lisandra Montero, a student teacher, pointed out that behind the US provocations, threats, and aggressions there is a deep fear of the example the Cuban Revolution represents for the rest of the world.
