It’s official, it seems – greek politicians are personae non gratae across the country; any public appearance of theirs only triggers more and more anger. In London, ex-minister of finance George Alogoskoufis was spotted at Heathrow airport, hissed and booed by a group of greek travelers – he had to be escorted to safety. In Athens yesterday, ex-president of the greek parliament Nikitas Kaklamanis had to be escorted to the toilet of a nearby cafe as passers-by were a bit too eager to congratulate him on his government’s efforts. Even in the small greek cities of Arta and Kilkis local MP’s of the ruling PASOK party were booed and hissed by demonstrators. Meanwhile and quite amazingly, an MP of the (leftist…) party SYRIZA, called Thanasis Leventis, argued on camera that the salaries of the MPs should be spared of the upcoming reductions, because they are already lower than the salaries of their counterparts in the rest of Europe. To Mr Leventis – and all of his counterparts, we say, remember Argentina:
¡Que se vayan todos! – All of Them Must Go – Να Φύγουν Όλοι!

we MUST have a discussion what to do about it in our countries! is it our own decission to start a tourism boycot campaign like for Turkey, Israel, South Africa? And we need faster reactions direction copy cats! The problem at the moment is that the “solidarity” movement is really small and needs to control it’s hate and anger! We have to get bigger first! There must be an answer right now and not the evening or on the next demo but all these scenesters are still in bed cuz of mayday-rituals!
In greece, apart from the big ‘tourist industries’, big part of the population in the rural poor areas of the country live almost exclusively out of the money of the tourists.
A tourist boycott has meaning only if it aims against the massive tourism, which has destroyed the villages of the countryside, economically and ecologically.
QUE SE VAYAN TODOS!!!
Not all politicians! KKE isn’t mentioned and KKE doesn’t give up the fight.
