A group of Greek students on Sunday interrupted the state television news, the government spokesman said, as police used tear gas against another group of protesters near parliament.

"There has been an occupation at the state television channel NET and we are dealing with it," government spokesman Elias Mossialos told AFP.

"They are students, this is not an issue related to the channel," he said, without providing further detail.

The station's 1900 GMT news was pulled off the air upon starting and a travel documentary was inserted instead.

Outside parliament in central Athens, police used tear gas to prevent protesters opposing the government's economic policies from blocking a central Athens avenue in front of the building, an AFP photographer said.

1. At the current rate

they'll be the only ones left to run it.

Soon as Greece defaults there is no money to pay public sector employees.

2. Wrong

as long as Greece (or any other country) remains in debt slavery to IMF etc, the tax money goes to paying interest to banksters and repression mechanisms against the people.

When people get rid of their IMF etc. slave masters, they are free to work for the public good instead of working for the benefit of banksters.

And I wonder, why do you sound so cynical and depressed?

5. I'm the exact opposite.

Always a happy bunny.
