(1) In a dramatic escalation of the anger unleashed by the economic crisis engulfing Greece, communist protesters stormed the Acropolis today as the Euro and world markets plunged on concerns about the debt-choked country’s huge bailout from the EU and the IMF.
(2) Fears that the Greek crisis will spread to other countries sent markets reeling around the world today. The FTSE 100 in London closed down 142 points and, in New York, American markets fell by more than 2% as investors worried that a failure to push through austerity measures in Greece will lead to a spiraling loss of confidence in other indebted countries.
(3) In Athens, protesting public sector workers said their action had been prompted by "blind anger" over the near-bankrupt government’s decision to accept the painful policies. The measures, which are aimed at bringing Greece’s public deficit within permissible EU levels by 2014, through a tough cost-cutting regime worth €30bn (£25bn), have hit civil servants the hardest.
(4) Furious Greeks have likened the three-year austerity program and the attendant international monitoring of their public finances, to a foreign occupation.
(5) Athens is to receive an estimated €120bn over the next three years, the biggest bailout ever witnessed. But under the deal the Greek government must also freeze wages, slash pensions and do away with a plethora of bonuses and allowances — draconian reforms not seen since the second world war.
(6) "We want to send a message to the people of Europe," said Panagiotis Pap-ageorgopoulos, a communist party official marching with the protesters. "We can take control of our fate with organized protests so that our lives are not run by the EU and IMF."
(7) The stunt, which left bewildered tourists stranded outside the gates of the site, kicked off a day of sometimes violent protests by tens of thousands of Greek public sector employees. Amid growing anger over wage and pensions cuts and a rise in consumer taxes, civil servants extended a one-day strike by 24 hours and staged impromptu protests. In a prelude to tomorrow’s paralyzing general strike, schools, hospitals and domestic flights were disrupted as public servants stepped up action against the measures. Private sector workers, including air traffic controllers at Athens airport, will participate in the walk-out piling the pressure on the government.
(8) Spyros Papaspyrou, who is head of the ADEDY union that represents close to half a million civil servants, said "Cutting wages and pensions is the easy option. There are other things the government can do before taking money from a pensioner who earns €500 a month." Deepening recession — the country’s first in 16 years — has already forced the closure of 65,000 small and medium businesses.
(9) "Once these latest measures begin to bite there will be a huge reaction" said businessman Vasillis Stergios. "What we are seeing now are just ’conscience’ demonstrations, but when people really find it hard to make ends meet and they become ’necessity’ demonstrations there will be a social explosion." [br] In Paragraph 4, "occupation" can be replaced by________.
