Manolis Glezos, 88, is a historical figure of the greek Left, being one of the two people who dragged down the Nazi flag from the Acropolis during Athens’ Nazi occupation. Today, the 88-year old was tear-gassed by police (pic, below) and is in hospital in a critical but non-life threatening condition.
Also today, the head of the reformist trade-union GSEE, Panagopoulos, was attacked by demonstrators.
More info from today’s demonstrations and pics, as they come.

GSEE is not exactly a “reformist” trade union, it is the general trade-unions (umbrella) association, under the control of the current ruling party (PASOK). To PASOK’s neoliberal theses adheres the current president G. Panagopoulos and most of GSEE bureaucrats.
