On Wednesday, the brave Greeks who were protesting against all the public spending cutbacks were attacked by the goon squads of the financial and political elites, and they are fighting back.
Greek workers and youth took to the streets of Athens once again on Wednesday to protest a new round of austerity measures to be introduced by the social-democratic (PASOK) government of Prime Minister George Papandreou. The demonstration was accompanied by the second general strike to be held this year and the tenth since the outbreak of the international finance crisis in 2008.
