The government is considering taking more active measures against the student protests, in addition to the persuasion and the constant appeal to the squatters, as the government spokesman Stelios Petsas announced. “It is a matter that deeply concerns us. We will see what further measures we can be taken, in addition to the persuasion and our constant appeals against students adopting such actions which are problems in the school year, but also in terms of the health of the people who are protesting. And this is because we should all apply the measures for coronavirus without exceptions “.
