Greeks stage biggest protest since start of crisis

None

Tens of thousands of striking Greeks protested against austerity plans on Wednesday, testing the government's determination to carry out draconian budget cuts in exchange for billions of euros in EU/IMF aid.

 

Beating drums and chanting, "Don't mess with us!," workers marched through central Athens, led by members of the communist trade union PAME, in what appeared to be the biggest protest since the debt crisis first gripped Greece late last year. (Reuters)
