November 18, 2023
The 1973 student uprising at the Athens Polytechnic, against the military junta then ruling Greece, was a "supreme act of resistance against the dictatorship and the trampling of freedoms," which retains the same high symbolism half a century later, President of the Hellenic Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou said on Friday, in a message marking the 50th anniversary of the Polytechnic Uprising of November 17, 1973.
