ATHENS, Greece — Protesters torched cars, broke bank windows and clashed with riot police Wednesday during a student demonstration against plans to allow private universities to operate in Greece.
The violence broke out near the capital’s main Syntagma Square as more than 3,000 protesters marched to parliament, where the plan was being discussed in a committee. Outside parliament, youths hurled rocks at a barricade set up by police, who responded with tear gas. Bank windows were also smashed.
Suspected anarchists threw Molotov cocktails that destroyed four parked cars, while the flames briefly threatened a nearby office building.
