Greeks rally against austerity, mark student revolt

Tens of thousands of Greeks march to the US Embassy in Athens to protest against
financial imperialism and the government?s austerity policies. The demonstration was
held on the 40th anniversary of the student uprising that paved the way for the
downfall of the military junta in Greece.
This is the biggest November 17th rally in years.
This year, the central anti-austerity message is being broadcast by the ousted
workers of Greece's former national broadcaster ERT.
Like the occupant students four decades ago, ERT professionals set up a small make-
shift radio station inside the National Technical University of Athens, widely known
as the Polytechnic.
Students, workers and thousands of civilians come to lay wreaths and flowers in
memory of the students' uprising. The journalists appreciate the similarities of the
past and present crisis.
Forty years after the historical event, the 1973 Athens Polytechnic uprising has
turned into a symbol of the Greek anti-austerity movement and is more relevant than
ever before.
At least 50.000 people march to the US Embassy, a symbol of foreign intervention for
Greeks and for many, the force that installed the colonel's regime in 1967. Most
Greeks still blame the US for supporting the military regime.
Previous marches had been marked by riots and running battles between police and
protesters, but this year's commemoration went off without incident. The protesters
moved as the riot police looked on in what has been one of the emotional
commemorations of November 17th.
