Athens Vote Demonstration Dr Darryl Charles

21diyar2 | December 15, 2010 Athens, Dec 15 (DPA) Angry protesters set the finance ministry on fire after some 20000 strikers marched through central Athens Wednesday and a national strike against austerity measures closed down services, hospitals and schools. Angry demonstrators throwing rocks, bottles and fire bombs clashed with riot police who retaliated with tear gas in front of parliament. Thick smoke engulfed the area immediately around the finance ministry located in Syntagma Square. It appeared that protesters had hurled a fire bomb into the second floor of the building. The 24-hour nationwide strike in Greece Wednesday saw all schools, hospitals and public sector services shut down in protest after the socialist-led parliament passed a new round of austerity reforms. The Athens International Airport said all flights to and from Greece were cancelled, whilst ships remained at anchor and all train travel came to a halt. The bank workers' union had already started a 48-hour strike Tuesday. The parliament passed emergency legislation late Tuesday in a 156 to 130 vote that dictates a fresh round of pay cuts, involuntary staff transfers at state companies and relaxation of labour laws. Gross monthly salaries at state-owned companies are capped at 4000 euros, while state salaries over 1800 euros are to be cut by 10 percent under the new law. Taxis are scheduled to join the action with a four-hour work stoppage after the government decided to scrap a one euro surcharge <b>...</b>

Follow latest updates on Facebook: www.facebook.com and Twitter: twitter.com Greece is at boiling point - with police firing tear gas at crowds of angry protesters. Thousands of demonstrators are trying to block access to the Parliament building, where the government is discussing more cutbacks to secure further rescue loans. The deal on the table suggests suffocating austerity measures, such as more taxes and a four-year privatisation programme. If Greeks fail to tighten their belts, they face being cut off from vital European aid worth hundreds of billions of euros. RT's Sara Firth is watching events unfold in Athens.

Police said at least 14 officers were hospitalised with injuries, and at least three journalists covering the demonstrations sustained minor injuries. The violence spread across the city centre, as at least 100-thousand people marched through the Greek capital on the first day of a two-day general strike that unions described as the largest protest in years. Most of the protesters marched peacefully, but crowds outside of parliament clashed with police who tried to disperse them with repeated rounds of tear gas. Hundreds of rioting youths smashed and looted stores in central Athens on Wednesday after the mass anti-government rally against the new painful austerity measures. Police and rioters held running battles through the narrow streets of central Athens, as thick black smoke from burning rubbish and bus-stops set ablaze filled the city's skyline and obscured its ancient monuments.

What's happening in Greece right now, is the exact same thing that's been happening in Britain for the last 30 years under Thatcher, Major, Blair, Brown and now Cameron: shutting down industry, selling off public services to pay for tax cuts to the financial sector, subsidising them while the workers foot the bill, those that still got jobs that is.

Groups of protesters attack one another on the streets of Athens, Greece today. An estimated 50000 protesters demonstrated against tax increases and job cuts which were expected to be approved on Thursday night by parliament. Violence broke out between gangs of hooded militant youths and peaceful protesters who squared off against each other outside the besieged parliament building. The violence erupted when members of a Communist-affiliated union formed a human chain in front of parliament, in the capital's Syntagma Square, in an attempt to prevent hardliners from attacking riot police. The Communists were assaulted by bands of militants and anarchists wearing scarves and motorcycle helmets, who hurled chunks of marble and petrol bombs at them. The petrol bombs exploded on the ground, setting alight protesters' clothing. Full story: www.telegraph.co.uk All copyright and credits to The Telegraph. FAIR USE

It was the first true sign by the Russian citizenry of standing up to Putin's authoritarian rule over the last decade. Some media outlets even called the protests the first signs of a pro-democracy "Russian Spring." Opposition supporters shouted "Shame on you fascists!" and "Russia without Putin" in a tense stand-off with helmeted riot police in green camouflage and interior ministry troops, the Borneo Post reports. A Moscow police spokesman said 250 people had been detained and taken to various police stations, while others pegged the number of detained closer to 300.

They're angry over the government's plan to introduce more economic measures that will affect Greek's standard of living. The protesters feel they're paying the price for Greece's debt crisis instead of corrupt politicians. As the night drew on, protesters continued to crowd into the Greek capital's central square on Sunday. They're angry and afraid that the government's plan for more cost cutting will affect working Greeks. The nightly protests, now into their 19th day, have taken on a festive, peaceful atmosphere but full of criticism of the government's economic policies. Debate on a new package of measures begins in parliament next week. The package will include more taxes and more state spending cuts. It is the second round of measures since 2010, when taxes were raised and wages and pensions were cut. Greece has failed to meet fiscal targets under the 110 billion euro bailout by the European Union (EU) and International Monetary Fund (IMF). So now the Socialist government is trying to reduce the deficit quickly to avoid default. The measures have sparked the daily protests and caused the party of Prime Minister George Papandreou to fall behind the conservative opposition in opinion polls.
