My friend Sasha has written from Greece -she asks for her letter to be spread and having read the attached blog one can see why....
"I am sure that you will have heard some versions of current events in Greece on your local news.

I would like to ask you to take just a few moments to look at the article linked to here: http://sturdyblog.wordpress.com/2011/06/18/democracy-vs-mythology-the-battle-in-syntagma-square/
I spend most of the year in Athens. I have participated in the protests that have only recently begun to be covered by the world media. This is an entirely accurate summary of the situation. Although the first few lines of the article may seem melodramatic, it contains valuable and accurate information, and the tone sums up the feeling on the streets of Athens right now.
Please have a look, and pass it on to anyone who you believe might be interested, if for no other reason than to raise awareness of the circumstances surrounding the tragedy that Greece, and a number of other countries are facing, and to help to dispel media misinformation."
