Après les trois jours tragicomiques qui ont secoué la Grèce (et l’Europe) capitaliste
Le gouvernement d’union nationale prélude a l’approfondissement ultérieur de l’affrontement de classe
par Yorgos Mitralias*
-Pourquoi tout à coup cette inquiétude
cette confusion (comme les visages sont devenus graves).
Pourquoi les rues, les places, se vident-elles si vite

France: Collectif pour un audit citoyen de la dette
D’où vient la dette ? A-t-elle été contractée dans l’intérêt général, ou bien au bénéfice de minorités déjà privilégiées ? Qui détient ses titres ? Peut-on alléger son fardeau autrement qu’en appauvrissant les populations ?
