This morning Konstantina Ritsatou, associate professor of theater at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, was one of the professors (including her partner, polytechnic professor Christos Taxiltaris) who sided with the students to protest against the new bill.
This bill brings a series of changes to the universities and provides, among other things, for the existence of a special police force at the university facilities.
The police reaction was immediate and repressive to the concentration of students outside the university.
The violence from the police side led the students to call a rally at 5:00 p.m. in front of the General Directorate of Police of Thessaloniki.
The reason; Protest at the arrests and detentions after the police intervention today inside the AUTh campus.
Konstantina Ritsatou, chemicals and the slight dismemberment of the student
The woman who enters in front of the student to protect him with her body from the violence of some police officers is Katerina Ritsatou. She wears her mask and drowns in the chemical spill, but couldn’t help but try to protect her student.
Associate teacher with an important biography: a graduate of the Infant School, but also of Philosophy, she dedicated herself to her great love, the Theater, which she studied and pursued at the postgraduate and doctoral level. Her research work is important and her publications as a playwright are remarkable.
Ms Ritsatou, in a phone conversation with in.gr a while ago, confirms that she is in good health after the morning incidents, stating the following:
“In front of my eyes, in front of all of us, some policemen began to hit and shoot a student, a child. They were about to literally dismantle it, while we, students and teachers, protested peacefully. I was trying to take a position at the time. I am a teacher, I am a mother, a woman and a man. For this.”
Ms. Ritsatou belongs to the large number of teachers who do not look favorably on the coming changes in higher education. As he characteristically said shortly before the end of our phone call: “We will not sit in silence, we must try to prevent the worst, which of course has not yet come.”
