Greek unrest spreading in Europe
Six days of unrest in Greece is now spreading over to other European countries raising concerns that there is more violence to come. One of the main worries appears to be that the clashes could be a trigger for opponents of globalization, disaffected youth and others who are irate at the continent's economic turmoil and rising unemployment, AP reported. Because of the unrest in Athens, demonstrators in Spain, Denmark and Italy smashed shop windows, threw bottles at police and attacked banks and over in France, cars were set on fire on Thursday outside the Greek consulate in Bordeaux, where protesters scribbled graffiti about a looming 'insurrection'. The internet played a role in the protests with Greek website protesters updating each other on the locations of clashes and confirming that there had been sympathy protests in nearly 20 countries with more demonstrations planned for Friday in Italy, France and Germany.
