Story summary

On October 21, thousands of students, teachers, and civil servants marched through the streets of Athens, Greece, protesting high living costs and demanding better state funding for education. Demonstrations also occurred simultaneously in other cities like Thessaloniki, Patras, Larissa, and Crete. The protests echoed recent youth-led demonstrations across Europe, particularly in France, where similar issues led to violent clashes over the weekend of October 17-18. In Athens alone, around 10,000 people participated in the peaceful march towards the Greek Parliament, calling for public, free education and better facilities. Protesters set up tents overnight near Syntagma Square, facing Parliament, to highlight their demands further. The conservative government of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis faces pressure as Greeks struggle with stagnant wages, high rents, and rising energy costs years after the country's debt crisis.

In Alaska, federal prosecutors are investigating whether aides to Democratic challenger Mary Peltola helped to recruit a retired schoolteacher, Daniel J. Sullivan Jr, to run because his name is similar to the Republican incumbent, Senator Dan S. Sullivan.
