- A suicide attempt took place on Monday night at the Attika Metro station in Athens, when a 52-year-old man threw himself onto the tracks in a desperate attempt to end his life. The train's engineer saw the man lying on the tracks and was able to brake in time to save his life.
The daily suicides occurring in Greece are the direct result of the sadistic austerity measures being imposed by the government-of-the-regime against the Greek people. In a country where acts of self-destruction used to be extremely rare, this tragic trend is an indication of the current humanitarian crisis in Greece.

- The rioting police are standing guard at the Hellenic Halyvourgias Steel Mill in Aspropyrgos. Strikers were brutally assaulted again on Monday morning. The rioting police pushed the strikers completely off the grounds of the mill and onto the property of a nearby filling station. So far, the strikers' additional demand -- that the riot police must be immediately and permanently withdrawn from guarding the steel mill for private owners -- has been completely ignored as well.
The entrance to the steel mill, which the courageous strikers have occupied for nearly nine months, is now guarded by big, black police buses and groups of subservient rioting police, who dutifully linger until they are called upon to escort the owners to and from the factory.
Although their salaries, pension and benefits are paid for with taxpayer money, the rioting police continue to betray their country and their own people by protecting the financial interests of big industrialists.
The spokesmodels in the media dutifully conspire to deceive the people by reporting that each day that passes, the situation at the steel mill becomes more and more "normal.' Unfortunately, this kind of bogus reporting lulls far too many people into a state of willful ignorance. Some may think that it is easier to look away from what is really happening in Greece, but for the Greeks who are aware, awake and alert, the only response to the crimes of the Troika and of their puppet regime in Greece is RESISTANCE!

- From Giorgos Kosmopoulos of StopCartel TV, "The Greek people are ready to come out and protest, to demand their rights. The political establishment continues to ignore the needs of the Greek people, so we are here to remind them, and we will remain here, in solidarity with each other and the international community. Together, we will demand our rights and together we will be victorious!"
