[01] SYRIZA accuses government of 'creating climate of fear'
AMNA--The main opposition Radical Left Coalition's (SYRIZA) Parliamentary
Group, in a statement on Monday charged that the government with
"its haste to exhume a junta legislative decree on banning gatherings,
close the Metro stations and create a climate of fear proves how much
it fears the massive presence of the people".amna
Referring to an earlier announcement by the Greek police that all open-air
gatherings and rallies will be banned in central Athens between 9:00
a.m. and 10:00 p.m. on Tuesday, as a security precaution during a visit by
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the SYRIZA statement further said that
"our people will not be afraid, it will make them afraid", adding that
"their mass and peaceful participation in tomorrow's (Tuesday) rally in
Syntagma Square will constitute a live referendum against the policy of
austerity. A clear no to the new barbaric measures. A message of popular
sovereignty and democracy that will be sent to all of Europe and will
signal the beginning of a big political change".
