Greece will on Wednesday be holding annual celebrations for the anniversary of the 1973 student uprising in the Athens Polytechnic, which helped destabilise and topple the military junta then ruling the country and bring back democracy.
Events for the 48th anniversary will be held as normal, including a march to the US Embassy, starting at 8:00 in the morning when the gates of the Polytechnic open for the ceremonies and laying of wreaths. The gates will close again at 13:00 when the visitors will depart and the closing ceremony will be held in the courtyard with a speech by a professor of the Metsovian Polytechnic and other events.
The anniversary celebrations will not be suspended as they were last year due to the pandemic but strict protection measures will be observed by all participants.
