Greek Villagers Chase Tax Collectors Out Of Town

Everyone is welcome at the church fete in the small Greek village of Archanes in Iraklio. Everyone, that is, apart from the so-called 'Financial Crimes Squad'. The team of tax-inspectors entered the village in the light of day to conduct raids on businesses for tax code violations... the people were not happy. As ekathermini notes, the villagers heckled and threatened them with force if they did not leave the village. This is not the first time the government's enforcers have run afoul of the people; last year, inspectors were held captive by disgruntled locals... We are sure this is just a storm in a teacup and that the recovery is ticking along nicely in Greece - how else does one explain their surging bond and stock prices?
