European Living Cost Protests Expand
More than 10,000 people demonstrated in Greek cities, including Athens, Thessaloniki, and Patras, protesting against rising living costs and deteriorating educational conditions. They called for improvements in purchasing power and increased spending on education. The protests focused on a shortage of educational staff (with the sector facing a deficit estimated at 15,000 teachers) and the deterioration of infrastructure, with injuries among students resulting from building collapses in some schools. Slogans linked the Greek protests to those in France, demanding free and public education, while unions are calling for wage increases and sector support amid ongoing economic pressures and an inflation rate of 5.1% recorded in September. The Greek government is seeking to avoid parallels with the disturbances from 2009 to 2018 and affirms its determination to continue its social and economic reform efforts.
