Greek students threw petrol bombs at police who responded with tear gas in central Athens hours before parliament was expected to pass legislation that will allow foreign private universities to set up branches in the country. Thousands of students have been protesting largely peacefully for weeks against the reform that they say will devalue degrees from public universities, but anger boiled over as Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis urged lawmakers to vote the bill through. Mitsotakis, who won a second term in June last year, said the law will help reverse an exodus of tens of thousands of Greek students to universities abroad, a drag on an economy still recovering from a decade-long financial crisis. The bill will also help align Greece with the rest of the European Union and boost competition in higher education, he said. #firebomb #molotovcocktail #protest
