While our beloved Cyprus is living the worse nightmare since the turkish invasion on the island in 1974, Greece is getting prepared to celebrate the Day of Independence proving, once more, that only Greeks could invent the word irony!
Greek politicians will watch the school and military parade standing proudly under this tent and greeting the greek courage.
On the left of the platform, a black balloon is still on the air and a poster showing Giannis Ntokos.
"Ηave a nice trip, our friend. Your struggle won't be lost.We will never forget you.
Giannis Ntokos was found dead in his flat in January.The forensic findings did not identify the cause of death but the coroner ruled out crime. He was one of the thousands of Greeks who lost at least 70% of their money after the "haircut" of the greek bonds and pioneered in the struggle of all these people that earlier protested again.
Justify the money-savers- We trust Justice- Cancel PSI
A few meters above, just around the corner, another group of people is anxiously waiting the political decisions for the day after.
It's people working at the Bank of Cyprus and protest against losing their jobs.
