Jump To Comment: 1Unprovoked Vicious Police Assault during Greek General Strike-15th March 2006
During a General Strike called by the Greek TUC and Public Sector Union-ADEDY the police attacked, in a vicious assault, which led to many injuries (including an operation) a group of striking workers and pensioners at the end of the march.
Having been confronted over recent bankworkers strikes and dockworkers which crippled the islands of Greece for 8 days, the right-wing Karamanlis government is trying to bare its teeth to all those who dare to resist its neo-con policies, by the use of the police baton as its main policy.
“Go Home xxxxOldMan…” is what the riot police told a 68year old pensioner after proceeding to break his nose and arm.
The unions have stated they will continue with further strikes until their demands are met. But with some of the lowest wages in Europe Greece is heading into an abyss, in particular after the wasted amounts of the Olympics extravaganza.
