The hero of Greece's anti-Nazi resistance movement, Manolis Glezos, has appealed to anti-capitalist protesters to "overturn a rotten system". Leading the fight in a very different sort of war, the leftwing icon said his nation had become a "guinea pig" for austerity measures to which no country was immune.

"We have become the guinea pig of policies exacted by governments whose only God is money," said Glezos, famous for ripping down the swastika from the Acropolis within days of Nazi forces overrunning Greece.

Glezos spoke as thousands gathered outside Greek embassies and consulates in more than 20 cities in a massive show of support for the nation on the frontline of Europe's escalating debt drama.

United under the banner "We are all Greeks", demonstrators from Dusseldorf to New York denounced the draconian belt-tightening measures drawn up by the EU and IMF, which have pushed the struggling eurozone country into deeper poverty and despair. "We are sorry Greeks. These are not our policies," German protesters shouted in Berlin at one of the many demonstrations attended by trade unionists, celebrities and prominent thinkers in capitals across the EU.

1. This is the first I've heard of demonstrations in other countries

in support of the Greek people. Thanks to the "librul" media. We need more of this, not only here, but ESPECIALLY in Europe. The Greeks ARE the front lines in this war, but it's coming for us all.
