Athens riots video: New round of clashes, stones & tear gas in Greece

Troubled Greece is being crippled by a huge nationwide strike. Hundreds of thousands of workers are protesting ahead of a parliamentary vote on a harsh set of tax hikes and spending cuts. 28 billion euro worth of cuts are needed before the EU agrees to hand Greece another cash bailout. It's considered to be the country's last resort to avoid becoming the first Eurozone nation to default. But both the cuts, and the high-interest bailout, are deeply unpopular.

Your government can place millions of CCTV camera's in London alone. My government (Belgium) can tax the populus 50% on their income and use that money to do million euro bailouts of corrupt banks. How are our governments still in place?

People do not want to be taken advantage of, they just want to live peacefully.

These people are not greek middle class.

These people who burn down Athens are looking to steal, rob and destroy from their fellow citizens.

The middleclass people are home having their shops smashed, and their jobs taken away from them by kids who dont have brain enough to THINK or TALK, only to smash and burn shit.

Everybody in Greece is angry.

Does that excuse it? No.

Abslutely not.

Take the dope out from welfare addict and thats what you get. Government is not there to give you money, you have to stop rely on someone else. Get job, do something useful, what someone want and is willing to pay for. And no people, you are NOT entitled to your 13th and 14th salary. You get what you earn, only what someone pays willingly for your work.

i am with my Greek brothers and sisters (i am part Greek.) these people are not psychos, they are middle class men and women who have had it. their gov't does

not represent them anymore. this is only way they can express themselves - too bad it has gotten so violent. still so far no one has died. when are the cops going to join them?
