Nationwide strike in Greece as President of the Socialist International dismantles welfare state

Report this post to the editors

SERIOUS street clashes erupted between rioting youths and police in Athens yesterday as some 30,000 people demonstrated during a nationwide strike against the cash-strapped government’s austerity measures.

While their colleagues clashed with groups of protesters, some police joined the demonstration
http://www.irishexaminer.com/world/greece-hit-by-riots-....html

The Greek Prime Minister, Papandreou, is also President of the Socialist International. His imposition of Lenihan-style neo-liberal austerity has provoked street clashes, but little real, political opposition. That the President of the Socialist International finds himself in such a predicament raises serious questions about the entire European social democratic project.
