Greece - Anarchists, students and unionists clashed with police in central Athens today, shutting down part of the city for a number of hours. Demonstrators fought police with clubs and pelted them with molotov cocktails and rocks. Police fired teargas at protesters. Similar demonstrations were held across the country in opposition to the government's plan to amend Greece's constitution in order to allow private companies to open universities. At least 30000 people took part in the march. Currently all institutions of higher learning are state funded and don't charge tuition.
