The magazine Spiegel refers to the situation in Greek universities on the occasion of yesterday’s decision of the Council of State that gave the green light for the formation of the university police. “The fact that police officers are not allowed to enter universities is one thing special feature in Greece – still. “But the Supreme Court overturned the law that has been in force for almost 50 years,” Spiegel wrote in its online edition. The report takes a look back at the past and the period of the junta, noting that this was the reason for the ban on the presence of the police in universities. However, he notes: “However, complaints have increased significantly in recent years. The university drug trade was booming, with separatists beating professors, barring classmates from entering the campus, and destroying buildings. Eventually many students no longer dared to go to university. “Families who could afford it sent their children abroad to study.”
And the article concludes: “University police are necessary to ensure the protection of public safety, the court has now argued … The intervention of special forces is also useful to ensure academic freedom. When and to what extent the police should actually intervene remains open. “After the passage of the new law, student protests erupted across the country and after the court ruling, riots may erupt again.”
