What’s Up in Greece on Oct 17?
Posted by keeptalkinggreece in Very Mix
A “Passion Week” is up for everybody in Greece as Monday marks the beginning of a series of strikes, that will paralyze the country and it heralds possible political developments. At the same time the countdown for a possible solution (or not) of the Greek debt started. The “haircut is high on the agenda of European leaders, and technocrats, some of them claiming a 50% value loss of the Greek bonds. And I wish I was living in another country…
Public sector union ADEDY is ‘occpupying’ some ministries again. Today’s target are the Labour and the Finance Ministry.
The strike schedule of the week , you will find here.
The political uproar you will find here and here.
It’s still a ‘mystery’ whether the PASOK MP Rompopoulos will resign today from the Parliament or just from the party. In the first case, his seat will be taken by another party. In the second case, PASOK’s majority will be down to 153 seat out of 300. Very thin…
Tourists’ arrival increased by 9.67% in the first nine months of 2011. From Jan-Sept 10,33 million ‘foreigners’ arrived in Greece via the major airports of the country. That is 911K more than in the same period of last year. Arrivals via cars or ports have not been included in these data.
The garbage war continues and municipality workers will continue the strike, no matter what the court -expected on today- decision will be.
The customs officers strike has been cancelled and therefore the government lifted the price cap on fuel.
The first snow of the year fell last night on the Parnes Mountain near Athens.
Stay Calm and keep Tuned with Keep Talking, Greece for the news of the day! People are angry elsewhere too…
