Just before the screening of internationally acclaimed Gavras' film "Z" and upon the arrival of Greek
government vice-president Theodoros Pangalos, a group of Greek students started posing questions on the current political situation and eventually verbally attacked Pangalos (in Greek and French) and the government's economic policy.
government vice-president Theodoros Pangalos, a group of Greek students started posing questions on the current political situation and eventually verbally attacked Pangalos (in Greek and French) and the government's economic policy.
Pangalos invited the protestors to a meeting on Sunday for an open discussion, which was rejected.
A statement issued in Athens on Sunday by Pangalos' office said that "there is no longer any doubt that Greek society is faced with an organised effort which, unfortunately, has political cover by parliamentary -- in other words, systemic -- political parties, to plunge it into violence and instability".
The statement commented on the "obstruction and, finally, cancellation" of the projection of Gavras' anti-dictatorship film "Z" by the "terrorist-like intervention of French anarchists and Greek proponents of Syriza at the Greek House in Paris' university campus".
The statement further warned that what happened in Paris, and what happened in Berlin or will possibly occur in the future in London and Rome, "undermine the country's international image and its effort to exit from the crisis".
