Greece's potato revolt reaches Thessaloniki
With incomes plummeting and retail prices rising the idea for farmers to sell their produce directly to the Greek public has proved to be an unexpected success.
Producers from the northern region of Nevrokopi sold 35 tonnes to city dwellers eager to buy potatoes at less than a third of the supermarket prices.
For the farmers it is a chance to sell potatoes at a reasonable price rather than be forced to accept merchants's offers than did not even cover the cost of production.
In the wake of the successful experiment other producers of fruit, vegetables and dairy products are considering following the potato farmers lead. Click here for their site.

In the port
I met up with a bunch of other Flickr guys and enjoyed the sun near the port of Thessaloniki
Still getting the hang of my new camera. Each make has its own strengths and weaknesses and it takes a while to master them. Once again a huge thanks to all of you who made this possible.

Tear gas and violence put an end to Greek austerity demonstrations
Greeks take part in anti-austerity protest march - Thessaloniki, Greece, a photo by Teacher Dude's BBQ on Flickr.
Last night's protest rally saw a large turnout as about 20,000 people gathered in the central Aristotelous Square and then marched through down town Thessaloniki.
However, once the march returned to the Square violence broke out and police repeatedly attacked the rally, using tear gas and truncheons, often against people who had no involvement with any act of violence. (see video below).
Riot squad units also lashed out indiscriminately at marchers outside the Olympion cinema which had been occupied yesterday by groups opposed to the latest round of austerity measures.
At least two people were injured in the attack including one man who was taken to hospital with head wounds received during the police charge.
