#400 | What’s French for “is this another winter of discontent”? Students march in Athens, clash with riot police

Another university student demonstration took place in Athens today (and at least in the cities of Volos and Giannena). The students are protesting against the cataclysmic cuts and changes in the administration of the universities and the possible merger of many departments/ schools. Today’s Athens demonstration was attended by 1,500-2,000 people; many of the city’s universities’ departments are currently under occupation, many student general assembly decisions are expected in the next few days.

    Précision pour la traduction.

    Nous venons de nous rendre compte que la traduction admise de la citation du Richard III de Shakespeare est celle-ci :

    “Voici l’hiver de notre déplaisir”

    Amitiés et à bientôt dans la lutte !
