Yes, it's true. It also happens in my city, in Thrace. The city I live in, is populated by only 50.000, so you can guess that it's not only the biggest Greek cities who take part in this idea.
And let me tell you that being there with those people is a very nice experience, you just feel so...humain! You just feel that you belong in a big 'group therapy' programme or something. :D
I now work at noons but as soon I stop working I will be there with my daughter as often as I can.

Yes, it is true. mainly Athens and thesalonica are the cities that you can observe that but it can also be seen in smaller cities, as well as small islands. The main reason it is hapening is because the taxes are too high for the people to pay. and I mean high. Imagine that for example in the uk and most european countries the tax just for products is about 0.9% but in Greece it is 13% for the basics (milk, bread, power, vegetables etc) and 23% for everything else. Also, we are against the selling of our national property for money. We want all our politishans to return the money that they stole from the Greek people and go to prison for the rest of their lives for high treason, and the fact that our prime minister is American and aparently not part of Greek orthodox church (in which he took his oath) does not help. As now for other cities, practically almost all capitals in west europe and major cities with Spain forst of all, considering that their movement started everything.

Indeed they do. More or less everywhere but the main ones are in Athens, Salonika and Patra.
My question is what are they Indignant for?
Have not got an answer yet.

Almost all blogs refer to massive demonstrations in many towns in Greece but they do not name others than Athens, Thessaloniki and Patras.
If such gatherings are taking place in other towns, I doubt that they carry such a momentum to be counted as important.

Here in the UK, the only thing they
would be indignant about is football.
Everything else is taken lying down,
but take away their national sport,
and there would be a massive outcry.
Take away our country and barely a voice is heard.
