Riots in Greece: Protest against law that restricts protests 馃槀
Gestern Abend gab es auch Massenproteste in Griechenland, Athen gegen ein Gesetz der Regierung, das die Demonstrationsfreiheit einschr盲nken soll. Nicht gegen Corona, sondern damit der Verkehr und Gesch盲fte von Demonstrationen nicht gest枚rt werden 馃槀
Die Veranstalter von Demonstrationen sollen weiters f眉r Sch盲den, die w盲hrend einer Demonstration enstehen verantwortlich und haftbar gemacht werden.
So eine Regelung ist h枚chst problematisch, da die Demonstrationsfreiheit ein demokratisches Grundrecht ist, die Veranstalter gar nicht wissen, wer bei einer Demo teilnimmt, Demos eine Eigendynamik haben und es keine Sippenhaft f眉r Veranstalter und Teilnehmer geben darf.
Dieses neue Anti-Demonstrations-Gesetz wurde von der Regierung bereits im Parlament beschlossen und l枚ste die Unruhen in Athen aus.

#Greece | Massive demo in Athens against government鈥檚 bill to undermine the right to strike. One of the major legal foundations of labor rights is under attack.

Yesterday evening there were also mass protests in Greece, Athens, against a law that is intended to restrict the freedom to protest. Not to contain Corona, but to not disturb traffic and commercial activity by protests 馃槀
The protest organizers should also be held responsible and liable for any damage that occurs during a protest.
Such a regulation is highly problematic, since the right to protest is a basic democratic right, the organizers do not know who is participating in a protest, protests have their own dynamics and there should be no kin liability for organizers and participants.
This new anti-protest law was already passed by the government in parliament and triggered the riots in Athens.
