"Greece: Photo taken in Leonidion (pop: 6,294) in central Arcadia. "Killer Neonazis - chrysafgites, Back to your holes." " Greece: Hate call by Ourania Mihaloliakou, the daughter of GD founder to the hard core of Golden Dawn greeksocialstruggles.wordpress/2013/09/23/hate-call-by-the-daughter-of-mihaloliakos-to-the-hard-core-of-golden-dawn/ Significant strikes are under way, with university professors, municipal workers and workers in the social security agencies striking today and tomorrow, and public employees striking Tuesday and Wednesday. The Federation of Private Sector Workers is meeting today to vote on joining the strike tomorrow, which means that Tuesday would effectively be a general strike. These strikes are timed to coincide with the new round of negotiations between the greek government and the troika, which are starting this week. Greek news media have also been covering the german elections, where Merkel’s Christian Democrats won a resounding victory, but most likely not enough to not need to build a coalition government, while the FDP, Merkel’s junior coalition partner in the current government failed to get enough votes to enter parliament, raising a lot of speculation as to what a Christian Democrat and Social Democrat coalition might look like (the SPD came second, far behind Merkel’s CDU). News of Merkel’s victory, while anticipated, were met with criticism and disappointment in much of the greek media, with one newspaper (Ta Nea) having a picture of Merkel in a throne and the headline “Triumph for the Queen of Austerity.” The fear is that Merkel’s victory will allow her to continue to push for harsh austerity measures in Greece. greeksocialstruggles.wordpress/2013/09/23/greek-news-roundup-23-sept-2013/ thanks to Richard Reilly
