Dear colleagues, the description is accurate... However, the prime minister hasn't mentioned that the left party has risen to 27% (according to the elections in last June), but still this was not enough to turn things round

Θέμα: colleagues in greece, please comment if possible
sorry for posting this news item, but is this description accurate?
*Last month, the Greek prime minister, Antonis Samaras, warned Europe that
his country was on the edge of a Weimar Germany-style social collapse. What
I have seen on the streets of Athens convinces me this is not rhetoric. The
situation is changing rapidly. There is a violent far-right party, its MPs
committing and inciting violence with impunity; a police force that cannot
or will not prevent Golden Dawn from projecting uniformed force on the
streets. And a middle class that feels increasingly powerless to turn the
situation round.*
