About university asylum and episodes of universities were spoken to ERTNEWS by the Deputy Prime Minister, Kostis Hatzidakis, commenting that “the law on universities has not been applied to its entirety”. At the same time, as he pointed out, “the Rector’s authorities who do not apply the law must have consequences”. Speaking about the prime minister’s forthcoming announcements at the TIF he said that “emphasis will be placed on tax cuts”, which will be the result of a job that has been doing for six years.

As Mr Hatzidakis pointed out, “there are no active occupations within the university sites” both the reason for the current law and the police interventions.

As he said, the fact that “the law on universities has not been implemented in its entirety, indeed leaves some gray areas.” According to the Deputy Prime Minister, “there is absolute determination to deal with it”.

Commenting on recent episodes at the Law School and the Polytechnic said that the government is taking over its responsibilities and making decisive steps below. “The most up -to -date tools need to be used to control – with respect for personal rights – for the sake of protection of human life,” he added, not wanting to reveal the expertise of measures.

At the same time, he also raised the issue of responsibility by saying that anyone who does damaging public property must pay special reference to the responsibility of the Rectors and others who are responsible for administration within the University.

“Those who do not respond in my view must have consequences, because the laws are not just to read them. The laws are to apply. If one does not want to be a Rector, because he does not like a law of the state, the Hellenic Republic, he is not obliged to be rector. “

He even revealed that “some interventions will be made to accelerate procedures and tightening, for more substantial results.”
