Western governments have now disposed of the thin smoke of the illusion of democracy, as they power through legislation that decimates the living standards of the ordinary people, in order to stuff the banks with money, (liquidity). They proceed with ideological measures that never appeared in any election manifesto, if they had appeared in writing, they would never have been voted into power.
With one fell swoop, the Greek government has banned ALL public gatherings, in Athens and Athens Airport, on Tuesday, the day of Angela Merkel's visit. At least they realise the anger of the people. They have also made "preemptive" arrests, never mind, "innocent until proved guilty" and all that.

18 members of Public Electricity Company’s workers union were arrested for occupying the centre of informatics of the company
Last night 18 members of the Public Company of Electricity workers
union were arrested. The union members occupied the informatics centre
of the company in order to protest to the plans to privatize the
company. But they also wanted to gain information about very
big businesses with close political tights which were not charged the
special property tax that was enforced to the citizens, leading to poor
people having their home’s power supply cut off. A couple of hours after
the occupation, riot police raided the building and arrested them all.
