Greece: Cops Attack Protestors, Business As Usual For EU & IMF: More Debts And Unprecedented Humanitarian Crisis

[IMG][/IMG]

At least eight people were arrested and several injured tonight in Athens, Greece, when some 7,500 anti-capitalist protestors were attacked by riot police who blocked their way to the Parliament where an informal meeting of the finance and economic ministers of the EU was underway.

Demonstrators defied a protest ban imposed by the government for the third day in a row, as police violence against them increased.

Protests against the EU’s ”austerity” (artificial poverty enforced on the working class) came hours after Greece approved new ”reforms” which will create more debts.

On Wednesday there will be another general strike – the 30th since December 2009 – in a country where the social disaster caused by capitalist accumulation has reached the scope of a humanitarian crisis.
