BINTEO ΝΤΟΚΟΥΜΕΝΤΟ – «Σαμαρά Παραιτήσου, Τρόικα Ξεκουμπήσου»: Άγριο κράξιμο στις Βρυξέλλες! Protest at Greek presidency’s inauguration – Brussels 2014 .

Περίπου 100 άτομα συμμετείχαν σε συγκέντρωση διαμαρτυρίας έξω από την πρώτη δημόσια εκδήλωση της ελληνικής προεδρίας στις Βρυξέλλες. Οι Έλληνες και Βέλγοι συγκεντρωμένοι κατήγγειλαν τις βάρβαρες πολιτικές λιτότητας της ελληνικής κυβέρνησης και της ΕΕ.

Με ανακοινωμένη τη συγκέντρωση διαμαρτυρίας εδώ κι ένα μήνα, κανείς υπουργός της κυβέρνησης δε τόλμησε να εμφανιστεί μπροστά σε ένα κοινό 2,000 διπλωματών, αξιωματούχων της ΕΕ και άλλων επισήμων. Το χαιρετισμό πριν από το προγραμματισμένο κονσέρτο απεύθυνε ο πρέσβης Κωνσταντίνος Χαλαστάνης. Ακτιβιστές τον διέκοψαν και σήκωσαν πανό που έγραφε στα γαλλικά: «Σαμαράς Εγκληματίας- ΕΕ συνένοχη-Τρόικα ξεκουμπίσου! Αλληλεγγύη με την Ελλάδα». Φώναξαν συνθήματα που ζητούσαν την άμεση παραίτηση της κυβέρνησης.

‘Almost everything that you thought you knew about current-day Greece is wrong.»

That thought went through my head as I stood among a mass of demonstrators in Syntagma Square during the recent general strike. There was a festive air: souvlaki sellers amid grandmothers, students singing and lots of street theatre performances. It was unlike any of the images that I had seen; there was no stone throwing, no tear-gas or water cannon attacks. I may have been lucky but there was a wide spectrum of ordinary people marching in the demonstration. The usual suspects were there, of course: the anarchists, the Communists and the general drop-a-hat-see-me-protest lot. But there was also a broad range of others: nurses, farmers, doctors, actors and teachers.

 After the demonstration was over, I walked past the rows of gas-masked policemen (generally far nicer

Student Unrest in Greece

It seems that students in public schools and universities will have another difficult year ahead of them. The article that follows sets out the facts as strikes, demonstrations and students taking over faculties and schools will fill disgruntled youths’ agenda.

TEAR GAS FIRED AS GREEK POLICE CLASH WITH ATHENS PROTESTERS

29 June 2011

Greek riot police must not use excessive force in their handling of violence during protests in Athens, Amnesty International said today amid reports protesters were hospitalized as police fired massive amounts of tear gas.

The clashes came amid two days of protest in Syntagma square against an unpopular austerity bill, approved by the Greek Parliament today.

“The largely peaceful demonstrations of the past two days have been marred again by a minority of rioters clashing with the police,” said John Dalhuisen, Amnesty International’s Deputy Director for Europe and Central Asia.

‘Indignants’ gather in Syntagma for European-wide protest

This night they were joined by protesters in Milan’s Piazza del Duomo, Champs Elysee in Paris and another 100 cities of Europe that held simultaneous peaceful demonstrations.

Topless feminist protesters show what they’re made of

Kiev, Ukraine (CNN) — «Our God is woman, our mission is protest, our weapons are bare breasts.» It’s the kind of political slogan that’s bound to catch attention, particularly when it’s dozens of topless women clutching campaign posters who are chanting it.

These are the women of Femen, Ukraine’s topless female protest movement. Young women who believe that the best way to make their voice heard is through sheer bare-chested brazenness.

Femen’s leader, 26-year-old Anna Gutsol, explains: «Our goal is active Ukrainian women who want to be involved in society and politics.
