that's because the police are with them and rightly so.

Not even police resist to psychological pressure ,they cannot beat people endless.

With all fairness, I think soon enough most countries around the world will wake up to the tyranny

Maybe the leaders will find a solution or...they will be the big losers.

If we fight for our freedom

And Democracy..I think.

there will be suffering but for the better and if we don't there will be suffering and then more suffering

They have all means to avoid this,, very difficult to understand what they waiting.

"The leaders" What..? They are the ones allowing the tyranny to go on, for years and so they are a part of it, if not one of the causes of it.

As I said before the Leaders will be the big losers if they don't try to resolve the things as fast as possible,in the favor of people.

in my opinion, even if they do try and to make things right. It's too late for them, as soon as people wake up and see what s# they've been feeding us for years and years, they'll be done for.

Just my opinion ofcourse.

soon the dollar will fall so far down in value that we will then be just like them.

Hard to happen as long as there is China as a depositor.

More then 10 buildings are on fire.

ATHENS, Greece — Riots engulfed central Athens and at least 10 buildings went up in flames in mass protests late Sunday as lawmakers prepared for a historic parliamentary vote on harsh austerity measures demanded to keep the country solvent and within the eurozone. TV footage showed a three-story corner building completely consumed by flames with riot officers looking on from the street, and firefighters trying to douse the blaze. A closed cinema, a bank, a mobile phone dealership, a glassware store and a cafeteria were among the burning buildings, the fire department said. There were no report of people trapped inside.

Protesters and police fought running battles in central Athens Sunday, as Greek lawmakers debated legislation that would introduce severe austerity measures to stave off bankruptcy. From the archive Since May 2010, Greece has survived on a €110 billion ($145 billion) bailout from its European partners and the International Monetary Fund. When that proved insufficient, a new rescue loan package worth a further €130 billion ($171 billion) was decided — combined with a massive bond swap deal that will write off half the country's privately held debt.

Even if all of them resigns hard to resolve a problem with deep roots is like an ancient disease that requires a radical solution.

German Tagesschau reports:

Heavy Riots in Athens.
At least 100.000 people in the streets (80.000 in Athens, 20.000 in Thessaloniki according to greek police).
Several buildings in Athens on fire. 80 people seriously injured by now (30 of them cops).
Greek PM appeals to the public to calm down.

ETA:
Here is another site with 5 Live cams from Syntagma square, Athens.

According to the Chat on livestream stopcartel TV-GR the parliament just voted yes to the austerity measures but I don't speak greek so I can't confirm this.

Greek PM appeals to the public to calm down.

I am sorry for poor people,for all of them,they use to have a high standard of life,something very wrong will happen if the EU and IMF will not release the pressure.

This is the result of what the IMF is all about and to mention the assassination threat on the former prime minister.

No, this is the result of poor Greek fiscal governance and economic mismanagement over the last few years, coupled with a stupid decision by the Euro cartel to allow them into the Euro zone.

Some footage of the protesters and police clashing.

Gas, stones and fire mainly

China has been and continues to trade with Iran, Russia and several other countries in different currencies including gold. they are slowly making their way around the dollar and it appears to be a global trend that will not end well for the US and EU. you see you can't keep printing money and doing nothing to improve your economy and still have the world thinking any other way.

the more they print the more the value goes down, like a house rotting, it can only be propped up for so long before it tumbles.

Some of the austerity measures are:

-Reduce the number of employees from the public sector with a number of 150,000.

-Reduce the average salary with 22 percent.

-Pension cuts.

- Average wage for young people under age 25 cannot exceed 400 Euros.

Number of unemployed exceeds one million
