The images that reappeared in Athens this week are familiar by now, after 18 months of pitched battles: protesting Greeks taking to the streets, the poor and pensioners aggrieved by pay cuts, tax hikes, slashed pensions and layoffs, screaming outside the parliament at lawmakers holed up inside, protected by battalions of riot police.
Prizori koji su se ponovo mogli videti u Atini ove nedelje već su poznati nakon 18 meseci žestokih okršaja: grčki demonstranti na ulicama, siromašni i penzioneri uznemireni zbog smanjenja prihoda, povećanja poreza, smanjenja penzija i otkaza, vikanje ispred parlamenta na zakonodavce zavučene unutra, koje obezbeđuju bataljoni interventne policije.
