Solidarity protests for Greece are being organized in many European countries for this Saturday. People will protest against the economic crisis and its effects on Greek society.
As noted in an online call to the international audience, the austerity measures that the Greek parliament voted on February 12 (under the pressure of the EU and IMF) are imposing major reductions in salaries and pensions while the dismissal of thousands civil servants is planned.
The indignant movement warns that Greece “is being used as a laboratory experiment”.
“Greek people need international solidarity and ask for our support. We respond to their call. We are all Greeks! ”
Protests of solidarity will start on Saturday 14:00 local time. Demonstrations are planned even in New York (14:00 Saturday at the Zuccotti park, where members of the ‘Occupy New York’ movement have camped for months).
During the last months the solidarity movement for the people of Greece has been increasing rapidly in prominence. Thousands of ordinary European citizens have joined their voices to the “Movement of Nantes” demanding double nationality.
