Greek strikers clash with police

Striking workers have marched through Athens to the Greek parliament in an attempt to force the government to withdraw controversial reforms.

The demonstrators say the changes will affect job security and pensions. Brief scuffles broke out when a group of protesters charged riot police guarding the parliament buildings.

The protesters, mainly youths, then threw sticks and stones at police. Some protesters said the government's "capitalistic" policies, including privatization and taxation, were even more destructive coming at a time of an international financial crisis.

God dammit I'm tired of this propaganda now.

I guess not many people know about this, since you don't live here like me, but the thruth is NOT that "protesters and demostrants throws fire bombs and stones... "... This is a small part of voilent mobs of anarchist or maybe communists - ... Athens has approx 2 fucking strikes per day it is counted to, and I can promise you that they are very calm in 98% of cases! This is BS.

Shame!
