Its actions include the usual old-school labor actions, i.e. ship-workers and sailors blocking ports. The party has no loose canons and has a horror of things getting out of control. No police officers worry about attending a KKE demonstration. Ever.

Earlier in the day, protesters from Greece's communist-leaning PAME party draped a five-storey banner from the roof of the finance ministry in Athens calling for public sector strikes. Unions have vowed to strike against austerity measures.

What was the echo of this action in Greece, BTW? Was it even as significant as the widespread Western media reporting made me think?

Eh no, this is par for the course nowadays. The Power Utility Employees did the same thing a week ago with a larger banner (about keeping the company public). I mean it was noticed, but the big strike is coming on the 15th. If the crowd in Syntagma remains there, it will be much more interesting...
