摘要

Cafes and bars in Athens are filling up as spring beckons and the memory of December's nasty riots fades. As the tourist season gets under way officials play down fears of renewed unrest. The message is that Greece was hit merely by a bout of hooliganism similar to post-match clashes between fans of the capital's rival football teams. Yet Athenians are sceptical, not least because the violence, though diminished, shows no sign of dying out.rnJittery Greek police officers blame self-styled anarchists, who played a big role in the December riots, for a spate of petrol-bombings of expensive cars, bank machines and government offices. A leftist terrorist group, Revolutionary Struggle, claimed responsibility for shooting a policeman in January. In early April two policemen from a rapid-reaction force formed after the riots were shot dead at close range during a late-night identity check, perhaps by east European gangsters.rnFears of public disorder add to existing worries over jobs and mortgages. Yannis Papathanasiou, the newish finance minister, claims optimistically that Greece can escape recession. But as forecasts keep being revised downwards, his mantra of growth above 1% in 2009 sounds less and less convincing. This week the central bank suggested that Greece may join the rest of Europe in recession. The unemployment rate has just hit 9.4%.
