Students and teachers in Athens and Thessaloniki demand affordable housing, higher wages and increased funding for public education.
Students and teachers in Greece have mobilized in Athens and Thessaloniki to demand affordable housing, higher wages and greater investment in public education, joining a wave of youth-led protests over rising living costs and housing insecurity across Europe.
Tents have been erected in Athens’ Syntagma Square and in Thessaloniki as demonstrators call for fair rents, more university housing and increased funding for public education.
Authorities deployed more than 3,000 police officers in Athens to monitor a demonstration scheduled for Wednesday, organized by students and teachers. The protests come amid similar mobilizations in France, Spain, Italy, Portugal and Albania, where young people are challenging housing costs that they say make it increasingly difficult to combine work or study with securing a home.

The Greek primary school teachers’ union, DOE, called a 24-hour strike to demand a 20% pay rise, housing assistance for teachers assigned to work in other cities and improvements to school facilities.
Around 20 student associations in Athens joined the mobilization, planning to march alongside teachers. Their demands include decent housing for all university students, particularly those from low-income families who move to other cities to pursue their studies, higher student allowances and more places in public university residences.
Students are also calling for lower electricity and heating fuel costs, highlighting the pressure of energy expenses alongside the cost of accommodation.
The demonstrations reflect broader grievances among young Europeans over housing affordability. Protesters across several countries have pointed to property speculation, tourism-driven pressures on housing and austerity policies imposed by the European Union as factors affecting their ability to secure a home.
Athens Mayor Haris Dukas, a social democrat, expressed support for students and teachers while making clear his opposition to violent protests.
The demonstrations add Greece to a broader wave of Generation Z mobilizations across Europe over housing costs, economic pressures and access to public services, with students and educators pressing for changes to living and working conditions.

Nigeria confirmed its first Ebola case on Tuesday, a woman who traveled from Uganda to the capital, Abuja, in the latest spread of an outbreak centered in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Health Minister Muhammad Ali Pate announced the diagnosis through a statement. The patient landed in Nigeria on an international flight from Uganda and went to a private medical facility in Abuja shortly after arriving, where she remained under care for several days before laboratory results confirmed the infection.
“The patient, a woman who recently arrived in Nigeria on an international flight from Uganda, was admitted to a private hospital where she received medical attention for several days before the diagnosis was confirmed,” Pate said.
She is now isolated and receiving medical attention. “Contact tracing has begun and 44 close contacts have been identified so far,” the minister added.
The confirmation sounded health alarms and added Nigeria to a continental alert that has gripped Africa since the outbreak began. The case pulls the country into an epidemic whose epicenter sits in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Uganda, where the woman boarded her flight, is also among the affected nations.

The current emergency began in May with the declaration of an outbreak of viral hemorrhagic fever in the DRC. The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) classified the outbreak in the DRC and neighboring Uganda as a “public health emergency of international concern” on May 17.
The current epidemic differs from previous Ebola outbreaks in one crucial way. Earlier waves were caused by the Zaire ebolavirus, but the infections now spreading across the region are driven by the Bundibugyo strain, an unusual variant for which no treatment or vaccine is available.
That absence of medical countermeasures has weighed heavily on the DRC, which is weathering a critical situation marked by high numbers of infections and deaths and intense community transmission. Official data count about 9,000 confirmed infections and roughly 4,381 deaths, making this the most devastating Ebola outbreak in the country’s history.
While Nigeria deals with its first case, Kenya’s Ministry of Health reported a new patient on Tuesday, raising the total number of infections detected in the country in this outbreak to eight.

Nigeria has experience with Ebola. The country contained a small outbreak in 2014 after a traveler arrived in Lagos, according to general public health records. Whether any of the 44 contacts develop symptoms in the coming days will indicate how far the virus may have spread inside the country.
Since emergency was declared the virus has crossed DRC borders, spread into Uganda, and now reached Nigeria, leaving contact tracers in Abuja racing to map every movement the patient made since landing, against a strain with no approved vaccine or treatment.
