Striking Greek workers have brought the Athens metro to a standstill and kept ferries docked in protest against austerity measures, as the country's lenders visited the capital to try to avert a debt default.

@DKDamilos Oh, you welcome..

It’s awful prosperity EU makes.. Typical for the “wise” bureaucrats to increase police spending, instead of admitting their own flaws, and inside crimes. Their solution is not to fix the problem, They simply clamp harder down on peaceful citizens.. 21´centory dictatorship with no regards of human suffering..

I wish more northern Europeans would see thru the MSM propaganda. But it’s just a matter of time before this economical madness spreads, continued >

@DKDamilosWhen people release, it will affect them too.. Then maybe they will join the protest

The guys that’s made the derivatives scam in Greece, claims almost everybody used derivatives when they created the EU. So not only will the bailouts backfire abroad, we will also see same problems as Greece everywhere, when banksters start spreading their economical war.

For EU politicians this is just, incrementalism

People world wide should UNITE, to increase our chances in reclaiming the future

@kyriacos40 Paid to be abroad or blocked. Look around and switch of the TV. There are no leaders right now. Only people against the system.

@MRRM828 Thank you for the support mate. We're trying our best, but the police blocks everything. Every protest is fueled by the police to end up in violence for obvious reasons. You can't imagine how many gas cans they throw per minute on the protestants or how everyone who dares to go near the parliament gets beaten up. Founders of democracy, ruled by a few tyrants. Modern world.

Where are the true patriotic leaders of Greece to lead the people outa of this mess?

@MrBawston

The bosses at the top are clearly trying to buy time. But for what? I shudder to think. This is a messed up situation for everyone.

The majority of Europeans hates this tyrannical, dictator, political/bank empire, that’s just don’t care about anything besides POWER and enRICHing themselves.

The crooks that caused all of this hurting, suffering, and abuse of human rights… they are the ones there is profiting from this plunder…

The ordinary Greek people is being forcefully driven to poverty, punished and blamed..!?! For what?? Being the VICTIMS, of bad politicians and bank fraud.. This is outrageous!!
