1. El Domingo 18 de Noviembre tuvo lugar otra manifestación en Jalkidikí, al norte de Grecia, en contra de un proyecto para la creación de una mina de oro que se cree que causará un desastre ambiental. El proyecto está liderado por el famoso empresario Griego, Bobolas, y la empresa Canadiense Eldorado Gold. Si el proyecto sigue adelante, se generará una masiva deforestación y una contaminación irreversible de los acuíferos locales. Durante la concentración de los manifestantes, hubo cierta tensión entre los que apoyan el proyecto y los que están en contra. La manifestación en contra del proyecto fue masiva ya que contó con la participación de 3.000 personas. A diferencia de otras manifestaciones anteriores, esta vez los manifestantes han optado por no tratar de llegar al campo de trabajo, lo que hubiera generado enfrentamientos violentos teniendo en cuenta que diecisiete divisiones de antidisturbios fueron desplegadas en el bosque. Al final se quedaron alrededor del pueblo en el cual se concentraron.

FEB 12 TIMELINE

01:00 Recap of the day's main events 


"Greece en rage", might be an accurate description of what happened today.

• Several preventive detentions in Athens took place before even the demo starts. 
• Massive turnout as expected.The crowd was dispersed very early though, around 17:30-18:00 when tensions aroused on the front side of the demo and riot police officers started hurling teargas to repel demonstrators on the lower side of the square.
• The demo was split, but protesters remained en masse in the nearby roads, to avoid clouds of tear gas filling the air...which was literally unbearable. With sheer determination they attempted to get back on the spot but riot squad tactics were aimed at halting the demo. This cat-and-mouse chase kept for 3,5 hours.
• There were reports by journalists of policemen attacking on random people, protesting peacefully.
• Paul Mason, the BBC correspondent was attacked by a bunch of far right protesters as they thought he was German. The worst was prevented thanks to other people's intervention.
• Clashes spread across the city, with banks and retail outlets set on fire. Estimated number of arsoned buildings at 10  45.
• 100 people suffered injuries, while 74 have been arrested and 92 detained.
• In Thessaloniki 28.000 people demonstrated (including PAME members) and clashes broke out between protesters and riot police as well.
