GREECE REBELS: Thousands of workers take to streets over EU-enforced austerity
More than 10,000 workers, youths and pensioners went on a one-day nationwide strike today
More than 10,000 workers, youths and pensioners from across all sectors came together on a one-day nationwide strike on Wednesay.
Austerity-stricken Greeks marched to parliament around noon (10.00am GMT) to voice their discontent over the new set of belt-tightening measures that look set to be implemented after the country's third international bailout expires this summer.
The action was organised by Greece's largest labour unions, the one representing the private sector, GSEE, and its public sector counterpart ADEDY.
But most of the protesters were waving flags of the Communist-affiliated group PAME.
They held banners clearly stating rage against the measures, the European Union imposing them and Greek politicians implementing the laws.
