IBTimes: Greece Anti-Austerity Protests 2015 Video, Photos: In Athens, Riots Break Out, Tear Gas And Molotov Cocktails Exchanged During Greek Strike
Greek protests turned violent in Athens Thursday while international leaders discussed the latest round of budget and pension reforms in the debt-ridden country, angering workers who say the changes are unfair. The southern European nation has been suffering under strict austerity measures, such as reduced social spending and higher taxes, for the past five years, and the top two workers' unions in the nation organized the protests as a way to push back against the ruling government.
WNU Editor: It seems that a lot of Greeks are still in denial that as a nation they are utterly broke.
