The 3000 year old Acropolis occupied by demonstrators asking the workers of Europe to 'rise and fight'
Just spoke to friends in Athens. Havoc and total chaos on the main cities all over the mainland and the large islands with thousands on strike and countless demonstrations. Three people dead trapped in a bank that was set on fire. The government appears to be losing control. There are no petitions or leafleting going on just sheer violence the expression of anger and frustration at the severe measures imposed on the country by the IMF and Eurozone partner states. Is this the shape of things to come all over Europe? I hope not! The equivalent of the TUC there has asked for peaceful demonstrations only and has condemned deliberate acts of violence. Have not seen any statements issued by the UK TUC yet...
