1million lay seige on Greek parliament now!


No, it's not a music festival; it's the 22nd day of a peaceful protest outside the Greek parliament. MPs are voting today on further cuts, privatizations and austerity in order to secure more IMF and EU bail-out-money. After being mostly or totally ignored by mainstream/corporate/industrial/liberal/call-them-what-you-will media for the first 21 days, there have been reports of clashes today as the police are using tear-gas to try to prevent protesters from encircling parliament where the vote on the future of Greece is taking place.
