[Xmca-l] Re: Information about a petition in support for Greek people and Greek reactions to it

[Zlatko Bodrozic]

This petition was meant to create a broad consensus among colleagues 
about rejecting inhuman and counterproductive austerity policies in 
Greece and beyond.
May be this is only a small step for humankind, but a big step for some 
of the Greek people we have met last week.
