March 2o12. Jan - Feb 2o12. Ici Athènes, nous sommes les cobayes..." Récit, en direct d’Athènes. "Il y a les sous, oui. Mais aussi la dignité, les moments d’insouciance, les heures à ne rien faire et à ne penser qu’au bonheur de vivre. Ca ne s’abandonne pas si facilement, son humanité. On aura faim, peut-être, surtout dans les villes (nous, on va mettre des poules dans le jardin, on a la mer, pas riche mais bon) ; on aura froid (ça on connaît déjà) ; on aura peur (c’est nouveau, on a goûté, on y goûte un peu plus tous les jours).

Tomorrow, the people of Greece will take to the streets again to occupy Syntagma Square in protest of the extreme austerity measures being imposed on the backs of the Greek 99% to the joy and benefit of the European financial elite.

The 99% everywhere are under assault by the same global banking interests. Greece is merely the most severe economic crisis yet to be imposed by the International Monetary Fund and other agents of the 1% in the Global North. People all over the world live under the tyranny of policies dictated by the IMF, the World Bank, and the G8. As demonstrated by the wholesale slashing of social services in the name of "debt reduction," New York City and the United States are not immune. Our resistance to austerity will also be global.

Meanwhile another interesting interview in Der Spiegel, this time with German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwell. Speaking about Germany and Europe and whether the country is seen as too dominent, he says: Germany occasionally shows a tendency to boast, which concerns me. And he also says: I don't want a German Europe.... On Greece he said the country faced a moment of truth, but its future was in its own hands and it had to demonstrate it was serious about implementing the reforms it has now agreed to.
