GREECE SHUT DOWN BY GENERAL STRIKE, RIOTING
December 10th, 2008Via: AP:
Protesters attacked Athens’ main courthouse with firebombs during a hearing for police officers whose shooting of a teenager set off rioting that appeared to be tapering off Wednesday even as a general strike paralyzed the country.
The strike shut down schools, public services, hospitals and flights, increasing pressure on the fragile conservative government of Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis.
The police involved in the fatal shooting were testifying behind closed doors when youths hurled Molotov cocktails at the courthouse and smashed a television satellite truck. Riot police fired tear gas. At least two people were hurt.
Riot police and youths also clashed in the city center during a demonstration by more than 10,000 people to protest the conservative government’s economic policies. But outbreaks of fighting were smaller and less widespread than in previous days, an indication that the most violent nationwide unrest Greeks have seen in years may be ending.
The demonstrations and the strike called by Greece’s two largest labor unions — umbrella groups that include virtually all public-sector and many private employees — were scheduled before the riots broke out. They were fueled, however, by anger at the handling of the riots by the government, which holds a single-seat majority in the 300-member parliament.
hmmmph,..they have uttered a plea to Israel or
Germany for emergency supplies of teargas canisters
as their stockpile is nearly completely exhausted.
