Students Protested Outside Greek PM’s Home (video)

Some 150 school and university students protested outside the home of Greek prime minister George Papandreou on Thursday morning. Six riot police squads were immediately sent to the Castri area in the north suburbs of Athens. Cordoning the area, the police hindered the students to near PM’s home, at a distance of 500 meters. Students removed some garbage bins but all in all the demonstration ended peacefully.

Of course, they chanted slogans like “Bread, Education, Freedom”, a slogan with its origins in the military dictatorship period. Back then, the slogan was chanted also by former students who currently holding important ministerial posts in the Greek government.

Many wondered if Socialist Papandreou heard the slogans. The question remains unanswered. Nobody knows where is the prime minister, as he leaves all important crisis negotiations, parliament briefings and television appearances to Finance Minister, Evangelos Venizelos.

To the criticism by many citizens and opposition party that ‘the prime minister is hiding’, we read today on the internet that George Papandreou is holding private meetings with PASOK deputies to be informed about the pulse of the society. Oooops! He needs only to read KTG and many, many other blogs. Or check his Twitter account….
