From Occupied London:
UPDATE, 20:17 GMT+2 A translation of the suicide
note left by Dimitris Christoulas, the 77-year old man who
commited suicide at Syntagma Square in Athens earlier (this month) today (see
below for background to his story).
The Tsolakoglou* [Quisling] occupation government literally nullified my ability to survive on a decent pension, for which I had already paid (without government aid) for 35 years.I am of an age that prevents me from offering a decent individual response (without of course ruling out the possibility of being the second person to take arms, should one person decide to do so), I find no solution other than a dignified end, before resorting to going through garbage in order to cover my nutritional needs.One day, I believe, the youth with no future will take up arms and hang the national traitors at syntagma square, just like the Italians did with Mussolini in 1945 (at Milan’s Piazzale Loreto)
–Dimitris Christoulas, Syntagma, Athens, April 4th, 2012
[*Georgios Tsolakoglou was a Greek military
officer who became the first Prime Minister of the Greek
collaborationist government during the Axis Occupation in 1941-1942.]
Suicide rates have doubled in Greece since the
government signed the loan agreement with IMF/EU/ECB. This morning
(Apr 4), a 77-year old retired pharmacist shot himself dead at
Syntagma, Athens’ central Square (his suicide note is translated
above).
Yesterday evening, a 38-year old father of two and
long-term unemployed, jumped off the roof of his housing block in the
town of Ierapetra, Crete.
There are calls circulating for a rally tonight on
Syntagma Square at 18:00. One of the calls is accompanied by this
flyer.
‘Scumbags, one suicide per day because of you, but the day is coming when the desperate ones will choose to take the law into their own hands: you shall pay’
