1 | Greece: “We Gave Birth to Democracy, and We Killed It!” | Gresy: “Niteraka ny Demokrasia Isika, Dia Navonointsika!” |
2 | Below is one of the many stories that you hear these days in the streets of Athens; it stands out because it is part of an article titled Flirting With Death, written by Giorgos Aygeropoulos, an award-winning Greek journalist known for his coverage of clashes, wars and protests: | Ity ambany ity dia iray amin'ireo tantara maro henonao tato ho ato teny amin'ny araben'i Athens; miavaka izy ity noho ny nivoahany tao anaty lahatsoratra iray mitondra ny lohateny hoe Misangy Fahafatesana, nosoratan'i Giorgos Aygeropoulos, Grika mpanao gazety malaza efa nahazo loka maro, fantatra amin'ny fandrakofany ny fifandonana , ady ary fanoherana: |
3 | […] Let's take things from the beginning. | […] Ndeha ho raisina hatrany am-boalohany ny zava-drehetra. |
4 | At about 13.30 there are a lot of people gathered in front of the Parliament. | Teo amin'ny manodidina ny 13.30 teo dia nisy vahoaka maro nivondrona teo anoloan'ny Parlemanta. |
5 | They are not hood-wearers. | Tsy nisaron-tava izy ireo. |
6 | They are not throwing rocks. | Tsy nitora-bato. |
7 | They are elderly, young, women, men, students, workers, unemployed who are shouting slogans, who are making the familiar hand gesture to the Parliament, and the most hot-blooded are right in front-at the most they launched insults and shook the railings which were set up in front of the monument of the Unknown Soldier. | Zokiolona, tanora, vehivavy, lehilahy, mpianatra, mpiasa, tsy an'asa izy ireo, niventy teny faneva, nanofahofa tànana toy ny hoe efa mifankazatra amin'ny Parlemanta, ary ireo tena mafàna fo dia ery aloha mihitsy - ny be indrindra dia nanevateva sady nanozongozona ny fefy izay natsangana teo alohan'ny tsangambaton'ilay Miaramila Tsy Fantatra Anarana. |
8 | Nothing important in other words which would justify what would follow. | ZZZZ Tsy dia zava-dehibe loatra mety hanamarina ny zavatra mitranga ato aoriana raha lazaina amin'ny fomba hafa. |
9 | All of a sudden, from everywhere, from right, from left, and from the centre, a general attack of the police forces began which pushed the protestors towards the steps of Syntagma Square. | Tampoka teo, avy eny rehetra eny, avy any ankavanana, avy any ankavia, ary avy eo afovoany, nanomboka ny fanafiahna nataon'ireo mpitandro filaminana izay nanosika ireo mpanohitra handroso any amin'ny làlana mankany amin'ny Kianjan'i Syntagma. |
10 | Imagine thousands of people running frantically towards a narrow opening of a width of not more than 10 metres. | Eritrereto hoe olona an'arivony mihazakazaka am-pahatairana mitsofoka aminà làlan-tery izay tsy mihoatra ny 10 metatra ny sakany. |
11 | From behind them the riot police throw stun and flash grenades into the crowd and teargas, creating panic. | Avy ao aorian'ireo olona marobe no mitoraka entona mandatsa-dranomaso sy grenady mahafanina ny mpitandro filaminana mpandrava korontana, miteraka fisaovorovoroana. |
12 | People are burned by the flames, drowned in the tear gas, they can't see in front of them, and they start to step on one another and to tumble down the steps. | Main'ny afo ny vahoaka, rendrika ao anatin'ilay entona mandatsa-dranomaso, tsy mahita ny eo alohany izy ireo, ary manomboka mifanitsaka ka mianjera. |
13 | People faint, others are stepped on in the blood. | Torana ny olona, ny hafa voahitsaka ao anaty rà. |
14 | Despite all this, the police do not leave. | Na dia eo aza izany rehetra izany, tsy niala ny mpitandro filaminana. |
15 | They hit anyone they find in front of them with their clubs, people in other words who are running to save themselves, stepping on one another. […] | Nidaroka izay hitany teo alohany tamin'ny kibainy ihany izy ireo, amin'ny fiteny hafa dia ireo olona izay mihazakazaka hiarovany ny tenany, mifanitsaka. |
16 | After more than a month of peaceful protests and gatherings at Syntagma (Constitution) Square, protesters were planning to surround the House of the Parliament last Wednesday, June 29, the day for which the vote for the Mid-Term Austerity Programme had been scheduled. | Taorian'iray volana mahery nanaovana hetsi-panoherana sy fitangoronana milamina tao amin'ny Kianjan'i Syntagma (ny Lalàmpanorenana), nikasa ny hanodidina ny Tranon'ny Parlemanta ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana ny Alarobia 29 Jona lasa teo, andro izay nanatanterahana ny fifidianana ny tetikasa “the Mid-Term Austerity”. |
17 | But the Greek autorities were determined to not let it happen. | Kanefa dia nanapa-kevitra ny tsy hamela izany hitranga ireo manampahefana Grika. |
18 | According to Article 11 of the Greek Constitution, “outdoor assemblies may be prohibited by a reasoned police authority decision, in general if a serious threat to public security is imminent, and in a specific area, if a serious disturbance of social and economic life is threatened, as specified by law.” | Araka ny Toko faha-11 ao amin'ny lalàmpanorenana Grika, ” ny fitangoronana eny ankalamanjana dia mety ho voararan'ny fanapahan-kevitra misy antony avy any amin'ny manampahefana, amin'ny ankapobeny raha ohatra ka goavana ny loza mitatao ho an'ny filaminam-bahoaka, ary amina faritra iray mazava, raha atahorana ny fanakotabàna ny fiainam-piaraha-monina sy ny ara-toekarena, araka ny voalazan'ny lalàna.” |
19 | In this case, there was no serious threat to public security, because the majority of the protesters were ordinary people with their families, angry with their government and disappointed with the politics that had led them to poverty. | Amin'ity raharaha ity, tsy nisy loza nitatao goavana ho an'ny filaminam-bhaoaka, satria ny ankamaroan'ireo mpanohitra dia olon-tsotra niaraka tamin'ny fianakaviany, tezitra amin'ny governemantany sy diso fanantenana tamin'ny politika izay nitondra azy ireo nankany amin'ny fahantràna. |
20 | And the authorities needed Plan B - which was to attack and to fire up the already tense atmosphere. | Ary nila ny paikady B ireo manampahefana - ny fanafihana sy fandrehetana ny rivotra iainana izay efa henjana rahateo. |
21 | One of the grenades thrown at the protesters in Athens, with the expiry date of 08-95. | Iray amin'ireo grenady natsipy tany amin'ireo mpanohitra tao Athens, miaraka amin'ny daty farany tokony hampiasàna azy tamin'ny 08-95. |

23 | Amnesty International issued a press release on the use of chemicals in the streets of Athens on June 29. | Ny Amnesty International dia namoaka filazàna an-gazety momba ny fampiasana ireo entona simika tany amin'ny araben'i Athens ny 29 Jona. |
24 | The Greek Medical Association for the Protection of the Environment and Against Nuclear and Biochemical Threat stated in its press realease [el] that the tear gas currently used by the riot police was a chemical weapon and forbidden to use against the enemy at war. | Ny Fikambanana Ara-Pitsaboana Grika ho Fiarovana ny Tontolo Iainana ary Manohitra ny Fandrahonana Niokleary sy Simika dia nanamarika tao anatin'ny lahatsoratra an-gazetiny [el] fa ny entona mandatsa-dranomaso nampiasain'ny mpitandro filaminana nandrava ny fikomiana dia fitaovam-piadiana simika ary voarara ny fampiasana azy ho enti-manohitra ny fahavalo amin'ny ady. |
25 | Despite hard conditions, twitter users who were taking part in the protests managed to send their messages to the world using the hashtags #Syntagma and #29jgr. | Na dia teo aza ireo fepetra hentitra, nahavita nandefa ny hafany tamin'izao tontolo izao ireo mpampiasa twitter nandray anjara tamin'ilay hetsi-panoherana tamin'ny fampiasàna ny teny fototra #Syntagma sy #29jgr. |
26 | Below are some of the examples of the impressive work that was done via Twitter. | Ireto ambany ireto ny ohatra vitsivitsy tamin'ny asa nahazendana vita avy amin'ny Twitter. |

38 | Earlier today I heard the police radio orders and it was clear “evacuate the streets” and mins later police wiped off people with chemicals. | Vao maraina be androany dia henoko ny baikon'ny radion'ny mpitandro filaminana ary mazava ny “hanadiovana ny arabe” ary minitra aty aoriana dia namafa ny olona tamin'ny entona simika ny mpitandro filaminana. |

40 | #syntagma sqr has been gas/flash bombed for 12 whole hours now #greekdemo #greekrevolution Plz RT so that the world knows what is happening. | eo ambanin'ny fipoahan'entona/tselatra efa mandritra ny ora 12 manindritra izao ny kianjan'i #syntagma #greekdemo #greekrevolution Miangavy anao hi-RT mba hahalalan'izao tontolo izao ny zava-mitranga. |
41 | The following YouTube video posted by user RealDemocracyGr shows, among other things, a protester in Athens calling to a police officer to leave the square and not to hit him - and the police officer hitting him with a baton stick: | Ny asehon'ity lahatsary manaraka navoakan'i RealDemocracyGr , mpampiasa Youtube ity, iray anatin'ny maro, dia mpanohitra iray tany Athens mangataka ny mpitandro filaminana iray hiala eny an-toerana sy tsy hidaroka azy - ary midaroka azy amin'ny kibay ity mpitandro filaminana ity: |
42 | What's left after all this for Greeks is to wonder what kind of a political system their country has, with the public prosecutor still not reacting to the extreme violence by the police forces during these two days of protests on Tuseday, June 28, and Wednesday, June 29. | Ny zavatra hany sisa hanontanian'ireo Grika tena taorian'iny dia ny karazana rafitra politika ananan'ny fireneny, miaraka amin'ny mpampanoa lalàna tsy mbola naneho hevitra mihitsy amin'ny herisetra goavana nataon'ireo mpitandro filaminana nandritra ireo andro roa nanatanterahana ny hetsi-panoherana tamin'ny Talata 28 Jona, sy Alarobia 29 Jona. |
43 | This is clearly expressed in the following tweets: | Aseho mazava anatin'ireto tweet manaraka ireto izany : |

45 | What is happening in the centre of Athens has a name: proclamation of martial law by banning right of gathering and freedom. | Manana anarana ny zava-nitranga tao afovoan'i Athens: fanambarana ho an'ny maro ny lalàna miaramila amin'ny fandraràna ny zo hifamory sy ny fahalalahana. |
