    Default Newswire from Greece

    Situations are running like crazy in Greece.I am making this post to keep anyone that cares informed.The post will be updated even daily.



    Today in the afternoon 150 people were outside the Ministry of Economics.


    An hour ago(23:00) 50 unemployed teachers tryed to make an interference in a state channel while the Minster of Education was there.They were beaten by riot cops.Right now, along with 250 people that got there for solidarity they are making a small demostration to the area over there.

    Better to make sure that the workers take power and the KKE doesn't, rather than to hope a gulag isn't in your future.

    I never said it really matters that much I just think it is something worth knowing. I was just wondering what the relationship between different groups in Greece is. I don't think that just because things are very bad it means you can put aside what are, I think, fundamental political differences. However I will leave it to the Greek posters here (are you one?) to give better evaluations of it all.

    I saw a facebook event for one in London, it has 514 attending from a group of 6,684. I only mention numbers to give it some sense of validity.

    Anyway;

    Tommorow general strike,today occupations!

    Aspis Bank general offices are occupied from ex-customers

    Occupation in the Byron's(an hood in Athens) town hall by the workers union.


    Also,in Serres there was resistance to a new rubbish dump by local citizens that caused the smashing of a undercover police car and the injury of a 12 year old boy.
