"Mass Uprising of Greece's Youth" by Valia Kaimaki
Why did Greek youth take to the streets? The police murder of a 15-year old student was catalyst for a general social explosion. For the first time since the World War II young people have no hope of a better life than their parents. But there is also a failure of trust in politicians and all state institutions, particularly the police. Analysis by Valia Kaimaki.

"A Systemic Crisis in Greece" by Takis Fotopoulos
The murder of the student is part of a long sequence of murders and police brutalities that characterized the post-civil war period in Greece. Takis Fotopoulos links the social explosion to the worsening of a multidimensional crisis. How does this rebellion compare with Paris in 1968?
