Greek archaeologists are to speak at a series of Coalition of Resistance meetings also featuring screenings of the film ‘Can’t Pay, Won’t Pay‘ about the recent Trade Union delegation to Greece
Greek archaeologists Despina Koutsoumba and Fotios Georgiadis, from the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Civil Servants Union, will be visiting the UK and speaking at three public meetings organised by the Coalition of Resistance. These meetings will also have a preview of the new film by Tansy Hoskins and Paul Hanes about the Coalition of Resistance / People’s Charter delegation to Greece.
Greek archaeological heritage is in danger. Greek government archaeological services are being devastated by austerity cuts. Hundreds of state-employed archaeologists are losing their jobs. Many more are facing salary cuts of a third or more.

The Preservation of History and Culture is a More Worthy Spend of Money

Protect the Environment and Stuff Company Profits
It is Diabolical Immoral and Un Acceptable for Billions to be Wasted
upon any Destructive Nihilistic Airports in the United Kingdom.
The Wildlife and Scenery of the Land Deserves Proper Protection and
Stuff the Greed of Corporate Businessmen
Instead of tourism in the UK the Greek Civil employees should permit thousands of unemployed in Greece to work on the thousands of unattended archaeological sites of Greece. Shame on them and as our forefathers used to say αιδως. And how dare they say that Greeks won’t pay. Not everyone in my country is an incompetent civil servant leach that feeds on the blood of the private sector. Άι σιχτίρ!
Studying the Greek Political System I am Disgusted with the Privileges
that Politicians Appear to Have
Greeks should Abolish Politicians Parliament and Political Parties
and Save their Ancient Heritage
