http://www.euronews.net/ Much of Greece is expected to shut down this week as the country prepares for a 48 hour strike.
Greece's two main unions, representing half the workforce, want the biggest strike yet to reach its zenith on Thursday when parliament votes on further austerity measures.
The strikes will disrupt food and fuel supplies, transport and leave hospitals run by skeleton staff.
However the Greek prime minister, George Papandreou, has defied the protests pledging to push through even more deeply unpopular measures.

I am greek and I totally agree with you. 9 million people are starving to "feed" one million civil workers, instead of firing some of them -.-

A government that keeps telling its people to sacrifice everything to keep that government and its employees rolling in dough,is going to get fucked in very short order.

* Otto's reign hampered by debt, financial crisis
* Philhellenic Bavarian died in exile, buried in Greek costume

In order to survive the fascists, Greece needs to withdraw from the EU, NATO, UN and expel the WB & WMF , reclaim it's sovereignty and cancel all debts to NWO central banks. Greeks were suckered into these "debt" deals, never signing onto banker agreements but "represented" in those fiascoes by crooked politicians and businesses who personally benefited. They owe NOTHING!
If they withdraw they should arm! The NWO will attack in order to make them an example of what happens to those who resist.
