It's make or brake today in Greece - as the government sits down to vote on tax hikes and spending cuts. It's viewed as the country's last chance to stave off default - something that could have ruinous consequences for the Euro. But public opposition has turned violent. Scenes from downtown Athens resemble a warzone as protesters clash with police amid volleys of tear gas. Hundreds of thousands of people nationwide walked off their jobs in the strike against austerity. They say drowning the country in debt at crippling interest rates has failed once - and it'll fail again.

  • @fotografka1 A huge part of Spain is also with Greece. This is a global problem that concerns to all of us, not only greek. Not only Europe nor Egipt, this also concerns the States, Canada, and other «rich nations». We have to fight for our rights, we have to fight together.

    ¡¡NO PASARÁN!!

  • Bring the tanks !!Storm the parliament!!Execute the traitors sitting inside!!New govt!!back to the drachma!!PROBLEM SOLVED!!

  • @tuz345 I agree. Would be nice if they police would get out of their way though!

  • The police aren't the problem, it's the government officials that they should be targeting.

  • i need a AK-47

  • @Biotechture assault...really? maybe the cops wouldnt use tear gas and rubber bullets if those idiot protestors didnt throw shit at them and protested peacefully...fucking idiot

  • for future and currens rioters, get sheilds, make them buy them, but it will give you a huge advantage in numbers and will increase he intimidation factor. at some point or another, they will give up and realize being employed isnt worth risking their lives especially o hurt their own people. take back greece.

  • People when they are shooting tear gas and rubber bullets it is assault and it is time to respond with the same force. It is time that the crowds rush the the small lines of cops and arrest them. Leave them where they fall do not harm them and do not hold them. just take their weapons and return the man back to his people. Call it citizen arrest for assault by unlawful assembly against lawful assembly. Its time to step up the game. Oh and cover your faces at all times. You out # them 100 to 1.

  • why the fuck on police they didint take your money???

  • Fuck tha police!!!!

  • respect
