It would appear there is only so much the Greek people will stand for. With a fragile coalition increasingly tilting to a more euro-skeptic (give us more money or else) perspective, the cleaning ladies of Greece have exploded onto the streets with great vengeance and furious rebukes at the riot police. The reason for this chaos – they were asked to clean up this mess in the finance ministry…
As RuptlyTV notes,
Janitorial staff in Athens obstructed the entrance to the Ministry of Finance on Tuesday. Riot police attempted to push the cleaners away but were unable to move them.
The cleaners have been running a campaign of civil disobedience since the Ministry of Finance formally dismissed between 400 and 600 cleaning staff last month. The cleaners had already been suspended from work last year in preparation for the move.
Despite the Greek Supreme Court finding the mass layoffs illegal, the ruling has not been accepted by the government.
Perhaps someone should tell them the Greek stock market is up and bond yields are very low… we are sure that will appease whatever angst caused this… aside from the record unemployment, soaring taxes, record suicide rates, and record emigration.
