… an assembly attended by 3,000 people.
For a long time now, decisions are taken for us, without us.
We are workers, unemployed, pensioners, youth who came to Syntagma to struggle for our lives and our futures.
We are here because we know that the solution to our problems can only come from us.
We invite all Athenians, the workers, the unemployed and the youth to Syntagma, and the entire society to fill up the squares and to take life into its hands.
There, in the squares, we shall co-shape all our demands.
We call all workers who will be striking in the coming period to end up and to remain at Syntagma.
We will not leave the squares before those who lead us here leave first: Governments, the Troika, Banks, Memorandums and everyone who exploits us.
We tell them that the debt is not ours.
DIRECT DEMOCRACY NOW!
EQUALITY – JUSTICE – DIGNITY!
The only defeated struggle is the one that was never fought!

Now it is time for Greece to sell some of its beautiful islands to pay back its loans. I think Turkey could buy some of those islands near its border. I see this as the only easy way out of this crisis. Sell some of those islands where greek population is not that big so it is easy to relocate them to other islands or mainland Greece. Mr Papandreou said it is insult to even suggest this, but there comes time when beggar should forget his pride and start thinking about survival.
“The only defeated struggle is the one that was never given” – true indeed.
may the movement grow in consciousness and determination! In action, anarchists can be the fermenting element to bring out solidarity, imagination, and resolve to the fore.
dare to struggle, dare to win!
smash the thieves and let the wave of your action wash away all europe.
may there come a time with which we’ll fall in love.
already in love!!!
to Werewolf:The greek people are not beggars. The term beggar itself, derives from the current social statuses; which are bound to be abolished.
I call to every Italian Citizen to Wake up and join Spain, Egypt, Greece to that cause. So we won’t have to beg nobody for nothing.
How is the nationalist agenda? Is there a lot of Greece flags etc.?
Today there was a front page story form Syntagma in the biggest newspaper in Finland, Helsingin Sanomat. Usually they don’t write nearly anything about protests or demos, especially from Greece. But now they wrote a whole page story with the title “Weird peoples gathering in Athens” claiming that “politicians get the boot…”, “while the winners are good slogans, waving the Greece flag and making noise”. They had a big picture from a crowd of +10 people waving flags and shouting. Then they had interviewed some nationalists (eg. an old actor Kostas Prekas, who said that “we are the best nation in the world….”. The main points in the story were that people are fed up with politicians and want to get rid of them; that nationalism is great; Greece needs more money; nonviolence is better than violence when demonstrating.
We don’t care whether there are greek flags on our tanks or not when we invade germany and take the banks in Frankfurt.

Are the occupations taking place anywhere else, beyond Athens or Thessaloniki? Are the assemblies spreading to neighbourhoods in these cities?
