Syntagma
The suicide note and post scriptum of the living
I fear. I fear because you have no idea how angry we are and our anger has no outlet when police forces attack you as you reverently place a flower on the grass where the body of the 77-year-old pensioner who took his own life lay yesterday in Syntagma Square, just meters away from Greek Parliament.
His death was not the first. There have been many more these past two years, but the media always played these cases down with a peremptory «mentally imbalanced» name tag on each victim’s toe — if they happened to mention the incident at all, that is. Yesterday they couldn’t hide it. It was early in the morning and there were many passers-by; it was outside the parliamentary building; it was in the center of Syntagma, the square all eyes have turned to ever since this maelstrom started three years ago, where all protesters have gathered and been clubbed by batons every single time because they want to exercise their democratic right to voice their feelings.
The late victim’s name was Dimitris Christoulas. He was a pharmacist. People who knew him said the Συνέχεια

Βόμβες μολότοφ, πετροπόλεμος, χρήση χημικών και χειροβομβίδων κρότου λάμψης κατάφεραν για άλλη μια φορά να αμαυρώσουν την ογκώδη διαδήλωση δεκάδων χιλιάδων εργαζομένων του δημόσιου και ιδιωτικού τομέα που βγήκαν σήμερα στους δρόμους της πρωτεύουσας στα διεθνή μέσα ενημέρωσης. Συνέχεια
European Democracy (Athens, 506 B.C. — Athens, 2011 A.D.)
European democracy is dead. It was executed in plain daylight on June 29, by a lone hitman thought to be in service of the European financial mafia. Συνέχεια
«The banks and politicians are afraid» – Spartan Indignants Walk to Athens (video)
The Greek Prime Minister’s new government faces a vote of confidence in parliament today after George Papandreou reshuffled his cabinet last week with insurgent socialist MPs and street protests opposed the latest austerity measures.
Thousands of people from the so called Indignant Movement are expected to join anti government protests outside Parliament in time for the vote.

What’s Up in Greece on June 12?
Posted by keeptalkinggreece in Very Mix
My site was down this morning. Problem solved in 5 minutes. For me that was the big “UP” or better say, the big “DOWN” today…. The new Pan-European appointment for Indignant Europeans is on the agenda, this Sunday. All eyes are directed to Greece and the huge protest expected to take place in Athens at 7.30 p.m. Protests will be held in the squares of many Greek cities too.
I’m considering again a Live Streaming and Live Blogging. Organizers aim to get a huge crowd again today, even though tomorrow Monday is a holiday for the public sector and banks – only the unlucky in shops will have to work tomorrow. I guess, quite some Athenians took a long weekend outside the city.
