Hundreds of people keep οn going to the headquarters of ERT to express their support to redundant employees as well as their opposition to the government's decision to shutdown the public radio/television.
All greek media are on strike while the political scene seems to be more fluid than ever in the one-year-government of Mr Samaras.
PLEASE WAKE UP
DON'T BE INACTIVE
THEY BARGAIN AWAY EVERYTHING
WHAT EXACTLY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
MY PENSION IS 201 euros
Shock and awe, disappointment and anger are the feelings we all share here.
The building of ERT has been occupied since yesterday by citizens and ...
...former employees that- until this time- continue a marathon broadcast informing us about the dramatic developments. The transmission is taking place through another frequency since the transmitters of ERT were shut last night.
Lots spent the whole night at some corridor since the police intervention is expected.
But most corridors are empty. Only some memories still hanging on the walls remind the good-old days of public television.
No musicians are rehearsing in the Hall of the musical ensembles.
Below you see the atrium located in the center of the building of ERT.
For most of these people it's the last time the meet each other at the cafeteria of ERT.
When I went outside again more people were gathered and kept on coming.
Greek society though is divided. There's a big part thinking that the government did the right thing. Many believe that ERT was totally corrupted but forget that it is not the employees hiring highly-paid secretaries and daughters of ex-ministers. They also forget that less than a year ago. the representative of the government himself stated repeatedly that the shutdown for ERT is only in advantage of private and foreign interests.
