March 29: Toll road action, inside the hospitals, vicious racism from the Greek state
A busy day started at 7:30am with Alanya (“Solidarity, disobedience,resistance”) opening up the toll booths on one of the major roads into Athens. The road they chose is in private hands, sold off after the Greek people had already paid for it.
The day before, the government announced plans to imprison people for three to six months if they open the toll booths!!!!!!. The group said that they would continue the actions when the bill becomes law, and are prepared to go to prison!!!!! to stop the rich making profits out of what should be public services!!!!!!. They also said that the government’s response shows how effective actions like this are- in the past year, 50 million euros worth of toll charges has gone uncollected .
Alanya then took me to visit one of the local street markets where one of them had a stall selling shoes. Before the crisis this was a busy bustling market; now it is practically deserted, as most people can no longer afford to shop, even at cheap places like this. !When I asked the street traders what they thought the solution was, three out of the four said simply: “revolution”.!!!!!!!
.........These are the desperate actions of a government (backed up by the European union, who have provided the money for the detention centres) trying to divert people’s anger over the austerity cuts by blaming refugees. It won’t work. The growth of the nazis is nothing compared to the huge shift to the left that is happening in Greek society. As Oil rig worker and Alanya member Jake put it, “The people aren’t afraid of the government any more. But the government are very afraid of the people!!!!!!
