Greece
has the austerity part of the formula and now it is getting the
repression part. The financial Mafia having plundered the Greek
people's public assets, it requires it's managers, the Greek state,
to step up the repression in an attempt to terrorise the people and
try to prevent more protests and rebellion. The powers that be are
well aware that what they are doing to the people will result in
anger and people taking to the streets, their next stage will be to
terrorise those that do and demonise them through the mainstream
media. Just as they had no qualms in dishing out poverty and
deprivation on the people, they will have no qualms on dishing out
violent repression. As far as they are concerned the people must be
controlled as the financial Mafia do their utmost to strengthen and
expand the corporate fascism that already exists.
This from FROM THE GREEK STREETS:
Major police operation in Exarcheia, Athens sees two anarchist social centres evicted; the entire neighbourhood is currently under curfew and cut off by heavy police forces.
At approximately 06.50 GMT+2 on
Friday morning, heavy police forces conducted simultaneous raids at
two newly occupied anarchist spaces in the neighbourhood of
Exarcheia: the building at 60, Valtetsiou str and the building of the
abandoned VOX cinema by Exarcheia square. The latter had been
occupied for a few weeks and its opening event was planned for this
Saturday.
It is speculated that the raids took
place following the order of I. Tentes, a prosecutor of the High
Court in Athens, who launched his career after being appointed in the
judiciary by the Junta regime in the early seventies. History, in
case it should be noted, does seem to have a peculiar sense of irony.
At the time of writing (12:33 GMT+2)
the entire Exarcheia square is cordoned off by heavy police forces
while the K-VOX social centre has been sealed off.
