A Call to Syntagma Square

 

Athens, 9:45 a.m. Saturday, February 11, 2012

 

During the night of February 10 to 11 leaflets were spread all over Athens. They are small pieces (4.5 by 4.0 inches) of white paper with a text of a few lines printed, on both sides, in black.

 

Here is a translation of the text:

 

——————————————————————————-

 

We summon you to Syntagma

 

on Sunday

 

February 12 on 5 in the afternoon

 

All,

 

from every corner of Greece, let us gather outside the Parliament

to demand that the death penalty of our country

should not be signed,

which penalty is the passing by vote 

of the new loan agreement.

 

 

All together, with us,

 

on Sunday at Syntagma,

 

to stop the treason!

 

 

Manolis Glezos, Mikis Theodorakis
