Clashes between students and the anti-riot police broke out at the university rally in Syntagma and Exarchia, in central Athens, where hundreds of students gathered to express their opposition to the establishment of branches of foreign universities in Greece.

In Exarchia, where the march reached its end, a group of demonstrators started throwing objects at police officers and set fire to bins.
