Today, hundreds of farmers took to the streets of the port of Pireaus, demanding government aid. This is the 13th day of protests, and Greece is having trouble all across the nation. According to an International Herald Tribune article, "The clashes highlighted growing social unrest in Greece. The center-right government of Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis is struggling to restore its credibility after student riots in December." Greece isn't the only European country experiencing riots... Russia is seeing economic protests. And Switzerland, where the World Economic Forum is underway, also has it share of demonstrations. In France, hundreds of thousands of protestors demonstrated in the streets all across the nation. The common denominator is the disgust at how citizens think their governments are handling the global economic crisis. Certain groups are pleading for financial aid, others want resignations. Neither will come quickly or easily. So for some, like these Greek farmers, help may come too late. Farmers' income has shrunk by nearly 24% in the past ten years, and now that commodity prices have fallen off a cliff, it'll be even harder for farmers to gain any ground on the past.
