On Friday, January 11, teachers from all over Greece held a massive protest in Athens against the layoffs of thousands of teachers announced by the SYRIZA Government.

The Government announced a system for the hiring of teachers in Greek Schools which will layoff thousands of teachers with limited-time contracts. Against this development the class unions of the teachers and teachers committees from all over Greece held a National Strike with a massive and militant demonstration in Athens.

When the demonstration reached the entrance of the Prime Ministers Office, the police blocked the road and attacked the teachers’ demonstration with tear gas and flash-grenades into the crowd. As a result of the attack comrade Theodora Drimala, Member of the National Secretariat of Teachers of PAME, was injured in the head and Giannis Delis, MP of the Communist Party of Greece, was injured and hospitalized with ruptured eardrum.

PAME denounced the violent attack against the teachers of our children, against people who fight for their right to steady jobs.

The teachers responded to the antiworkers attack and repression by the SYRIZA Government with new National Strike on Monday, January 14.
