Sure, there is lies, damn lies and statistics. But some times opinion poll findings can be interesting. A mainstream Athens Sunday paper published a poll today: 86.9% of participants predict social unrest in the near future (very likely: 48,7%, quite likely: 38,2%). 85.2% estimate that the gap between rich and poor will widen.  The Greek society is deeply divided in lines of class as much as political affiliations and this gets reflected even in this poll: 45.6% are positive toward the mobilisations of the country’s two main trade unions (GSEE and ADEDY) while 54.8% say they will not be participating. 50.3% think the decrease in their income gives birth to new class divides.

Meanwhile, last night saw a very odd torching alight of four cars in Exarcheia, Athens (only one was a luxurious one). Police reacted in their usual manner, detaining 45 people in total – all of which were released late into the night as there was no evidence found against them.

Finally, some more photos from Friday’s strike. A general strike has been called for Thursday, March 11.
