What is the main idea of the news item? [br]
Democracy was born in Greece and many still consider it the cradle of Western civilization. But in 2011 the bedrock of democracy in Greece, its parliament, has been defended by armed police against battalions of citizens who say their voice has been forgotten.
The root of this crisis is money. After years of borrowing, Greece is in debt. Faced with a massive deficit and under pressure from the international community, the government has revved up taxes and put the brakes on spending.
That’s been bad news for most Greeks. Business profits are low and poverty rates are high. Babis Papadimitriou, a journalist with the daily paper Kathimerini, says some Greeks conclude that the country would be better to default on its debt and leave the eurozone.
Many protestors say the rights and well-being of Greek citizens are not at the heart of government policy. They say their government is making decisions that serve the interests of global economic powers and wealthy nations, while Greek people suffer the costs. Many though still believe that Greece is made stronger by its partners in the EU.
And with street battles raging in the Greek capital, without a compromise it’s unclear if the government can maintain its authority. If it fails to do so, Greece may be forced to bid farewell to its membership of the eurozone, whether it wants to or not.
