“By forcing Greece to accept their terms or leave the euro, leaders of wealthy eurozone nations want to prevent European democracies from stopping their austerity agenda, analysts say. In this interpretation, European leaders are intent on creating a political crisis that will drive Greece’s left-wing government from power, thus making it known from Spain to Ireland that resistance is futile.” http://www.commondreams.org/news/2015/07/03/referendum-looms-troika-charged-plotting-regime-change-greece
We have a saying in the US — “the canary in the coal mine”. Do you have this saying in Greece? It refers to the old days, and the way that underground miners detected deadly gases. They would take a caged bird down into the mine with them. Deadly gas would kill the bird before it would kill the men. If the bird died, they knew they had to escape. In my mind, yesterday’s vote in your country is the canary in the coal mine. Can corporate interests smash democracy and the power of the people all over the world? I applaud your victory.
Seems that my “Doors” open an friendly and supportive door to my Greek,odd world…
Thank you all.
I like your gallery.

I am alarmed by a set of 3 massive international trade treaties looming for a vote here in the US. These 3 together would effectively place global corporate interests ABOVE sovereign governments, which would place humans, democracy and the environment completely at the mercy of those corporate interests.
