The Greek Government have approved the Austerity measures, though it looks like much of the fighting seen in Sergio’s post is and will continuing for some time to come. Although approving the measures seems to be the right thing to do, many are suggesting it will only delay the inevitable outcome of Greece defaulting on their debts.

Theres a great diagram on the BBC website explaining and putting into prespective how much debt Greece actually has, and i'm finding it really hard to understand how the Government got it so wrong.

340 billion Euros worth of debt = 31,000 Euros per Person
3000 Euros worth of tax evasion per person anually

That's shocking. Thanks for the info, it puts a new dimension in our understanding on how massive is this problem.

Thanks for the photos, those photographers did a great job in such a volatile situation. I wonder how much of that 340 billion was spent on tear gas?
