ADDENDUM FOR GREEK LABOR NEWS


Addendum to my earlier post, BELOW this one.


I reproduced (in case it disappears) the following in full from #3 of a COMMENT SECTION, link follows.
I have NO idea who is Taxikipali, which, I ASSUME, is a pseudonym.
But, I would like to compliment whomever Taxikipali is for some absolutely consistent, marvelous Greek strike and labor reports in English.
I ALWAYS read his/her or their material.

Wish I could read the Greek directly:

"...An interesting incident was reported concerning yesterday's large PAME (Communist Party controlled union) march in Athens: at some point the marchers detected a plain clothed policeman in their ranks, closed against him and deprived him of his police id. Upon understanding what was happening motorised police forces gathered with the intention to attack the march - then something unheard of for Greece happened: the PAME marchers performed a swift maneuver forming a tight cube thus hindering any aggressive move by the uniformed thugs. In an instant the cube puked the captured policeman who quickly rode the back-seat of a police motorbike and disappeared. Today's Communist Party Daily, Rizospastis, featured centrally the id of the policeman and the news have created a huge controversy in the media. There is no doubt that the State considers the Communist Party a force that must be controlled and surveyed during these critical times, especially as its workers once again today blockaded the entire Peiraeus off-loading platform in order to hinder COSCO boats off-loading their cargo in the harbour. Like it or not the KKE is transforming into the main force of resistance to the government measures..."
