The Greek army on strike?
(BRUSSELS2) Abolition of bonuses, budgetary restrictions... the Greek army is not spared from the budgetary restrictions which are affecting the Greek civil service.
And even if the unions and even more the strike are forbidden to him, some have launched protest movements, in particular on "facebook", advocating a "declaration of psychological incapacity for operations" (basically a strike on operations). An opposition movement which does not seem to be in the minority to the point that the Minister of Defence, Evangelos Venizelos, was publicly moved by it in front of the airmen of the No. 114 fighter squadron based in Tanagra, equipped in particular with Mirage 2000 and responsible for the defense of Greek airspace. A campaign that the Turkish press obviously hastened to mention. “It's a bad signal and a sign of weakness,” underlined the Greek minister.
