Protesters threw Molotov cocktails at riot police and Greek's central bank building after a demonstration against austerity cuts turned violent today...Almost 25,000 people marched through the streets, as part of a 24 hour strike that has brought the capital to a standstill, to protest a new round of tax hikes and spending cuts. Flights were grounded, ships were docked, offices were empty and hospitals left with skeleton staff in the first major walkout in a year...Tsipras' left wing Syriza party, which leads the coalition government, has backed the strike but one protesting teacher said they have 'deprived every Greek of hope for the future'...The country remains at odds with its creditors over repossessing homes of the owners who are failing to meet their mortgage payments.

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.

“The country remains at odds with its creditors over repossessing homes of the owners who are failing to meet their mortgage payments.”

Greece is a country and I doubt it says anything at all on the subject.
The gerbalist must mean the mortgagors who aren’t making their house payments.

>Protesters threw Molotov cocktails at riot police

That seems like a good reason to use live ammunition on the bomb throwers.

Hey, Greece! How’s that Socialism working out for you?

The government in Greece wants people to protest against the government.

Interesting concept.

“The people are idiots. Tell them to bash themselves in the heads with rocks and bricks.”

Yes, it’s one faction of government against another. Many other factions are giving their foreign relations, commercial, treasury and bank-related offices a hard time.

Anyway, behold the likely zombies of tomorrow here: government employees, contractors, pensioners and services. Local against federal, all others against treasury, police, commerce and diplomacy.

The government is too fat, and domestic manufacturing is too slim because of so many regulations, fees and taxes against private real property rights.

Tsipras' left wing Syriza party, which leads the coalition government, has backed the strike

So, the party in power supports the strikes...which oppose the spending cuts imposed by the party in power?
