Images from student protests in France are not going unnoticed in Athens, at a time when teacher walkouts are beginning in Greek middle and high schools. The government team's focus is now also turning to the possibility of a similar momentum developing among youth, provided that social tensions and problems affecting families' daily lives accumulate.
In France, the initial mobilization of teachers and around 200 students in Créteil quickly expanded, with student protests spreading to more than a thousand high schools, according to circulated reports. The warning for the Maximos Mansion is that youth can serve as the catalyst for a broader social reaction when accumulated pressure exists. And that is the scenario no one in the government would like to see transferred to Greece.
