Re: Greek riots (4.00 / 6)

Let's also say there is a certain similarity with the French Riots of 2005 and those - a big difference being the social segregation of the projects in France, which prevented extension of the riots to, say, students.

Re: Greek riots (none / 1)

To me, France's 2005 riots didn't manage to unite the student protest with the suburb one because of the unattended for racial issue. There is now absolutely no way that middle class representatives may get involved in a suburbian revolt: they just do not feel like being in the same country.
