The 2021 Greek protests broke out in response to a proposed government bill that would allow police presence on university campuses for the first time in decades,[2] for which opposition groups accused the government of taking advantage of the COVID-19 lockdown to impose increasingly authoritarian measures.[6] Protests intensified in response to the hunger strike of the prisoner Dimitris Koufontinas, a former member of terrorist organization 17N, who had started the strike in December, demanding his transfer to a different prison after he had been forcibly relocated to a maximum-security facility in central Greece,[3] as well as issues relating to police brutality and specifically the DELTA Force motorcycle police.[8]
The prime minister condemned the opposition parties as having "exploited lockdown fatigue", which he blamed for the frequent rallies.[9]
