I m sorry I didn't tell you anything so far, but I m very busy during last week. I m the main coordinator of a training we organise in AEGEE-Patra and since our training started last Saturday I spend whole day with them, being there for their lectures, food, parties :) They will depart on Sunday, it is nice to organise it, nice to have them here, but really exhausting :D
Everything started by the shot of this teenager that I guess you already know about and some people say it was an accident, other people say policeman did it on purpose, whatever, I dont think anybody ever will know the truth. This incident was the trigger for people to start protesting. They have been burning trash bins and breaking windows of banks mostly and some shops but it seems that it gets better now. The participants of our training they all get sms by families about the situation so I know that foreign media shows it a bit worse than it really is. I mean, in Athens may be very bad, what I know is from tv, but in Patra we feel quite safe. So, situation is quite bad but if you avoid the center you are ok. Last days it starts getting better, so I hope everything will be fine in few days. It s not the revolution Christian, it is just some people expressing their anger about everything, the economic crisis, economic scandals of the government being revealed these days, the bad management in general... Anyway, I m ok, my family and friends also, our participants are safe, and I hope everything will be fine at the end.
