    [02] SYN leader speaks at youth festival

    Coalition of the Left (Synaspismos) leader Alekos Alavanos addressed the party's youth festival at a central Athens square on Sunday evening, where he stressed that "the education front will determine political developments in our country."

    Alavanos described corruption as a "harsh reality", launching an attack against the ruling New Democracy (ND) party's overall policy, as he said.

    He also attacked the rival Communist Party of Greece (KKE), stating that "it should concern itself with ND, which is in government, and less with Synaspismos."

    In again touching on the education sector, he sternly defended Article 16, the constitutional ban on non-state universities and tertiary institutions in the country, which Synaspismos, KKE, some students' groups and the professors' union want to remain unchanged.

    The government has been keen to fulfill a pre-election promise of allowing the establishment of private, non-profit universities in the east Mediterranean country, thus allowing potential college students more academic choices, increasing competition and the quality at the university level as a whole and repatriating numerous Greek professors and researchers now employed abroad, among others.

    Referring to the problem of corruption in the Greece, Alavanos said "the problem is not made up, it's a reality, and a harsh one at that, having pierced the the entire system from top to bottom."
