"Kleftes, kleftes". "Thieves, thieves" is the chant that is heard most nights outside the Greek parliament building in Syntagma Square, The slogan of a people outraged by the continued whole scale corruption and abuse of power by its political rulers.

After years of endless financial scandals ordinary Greeks have had enough and any political figure foolish enough to appear in public without a hefty police presence very soon feels that anger.
