#Anonymous: Address to Greeks During Feb. 12 Riots (by TheAnonMessage) - #Athens

Greece’s government will fall…and so will the European Union.
We will stand by the people of Greece.
We are currently attacking all digital police infrastructures.

We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
To the Greek government, you should’ve expected us.




TRANSCRIPT
____________

Citizens of Greece,

We are Anonymous.

We have been following the events currently taking place in Athens, and we have mixed reactions. We are saddened by the destruction and the ruin this campaign has cost Athens and the people living within it. Yet we can sympathize with them. The government has avoided the people’s requests countless times. It has refused to listen to its people, and this is why we stand by the people of Greece. We have felt their pain and suffering. We cannot stand by and watch while the people are oppressed because of Austerity measures that won’t benefit them in the long run.

This is why we stand against the Greek government. We have warned them multiple times to stop their actions against their people. We have warned them to stop supporting these cuts that will indefinitly hurt the middle and lower class. They did not comply. The actions currently taking place are the result of them not complying with our demands. We did not organize these riots in any way. All we did was spread the word of your government’s failure to meet the people’s terms.

Anonymous is continuing their attacks against the Greek government, and will not stop until the people get what they want. If this does not happen Greece’s government will fall. This is also a warning to all the other European Union counterparts. Italy, Spain, Portugal, Britain, Poland, and all the others will suffer the same fate as Greece’s.

You have all been warned.

We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.

We will stand by the people of Greece.

To the Greek government, you should’ve expected us.

(AP)  ATHENS, Greece — Rioting spread across central Athens and buildings went up in flames amid mass protests, as lawmakers prepared to vote for a crucial debt deal needed to prevent bankruptcy.

Clashes erupted across the city center after more than 100,000 protesters marched to parliament to rally against drastic austerity cuts that will force firing in the civil service and slash the minimum wage.

Thick clouds of smoke and tear gas filled the air around parliament, as hundreds of rioters staged running battles with riot police and at least five buildings were in flames late Sunday.

Petrol bombs & tear gas: Greek police clash with anti-austerity protesters (via RussiaToday)

Greek police clashed with protesters on Wednesday as thousands of workers marched to parliament to protest against austerity policies aimed at helping the country cope with a huge debt crisis. Riot police fired several rounds of teargas and flash bombs at protesters hurling petrol bombs in front of parliament as crowds of striking protesters ran for cover. Public and private sector employees’ 24-hour strike grounded flights, shut down schools and paralysed public transport in this year’s first nationwide walkout against cost cuts. About 35,000 Greeks marched through the streets of Athens chanting “We are not paying” and “No sacrifice for plutocracy”. In four places across the city, police fired teargas to disperse demonstrators hurling stones and plastic bottles at them.
