Protesters March on Syntagma Square Amid Greek National Strike

Thousands of people took to the streets in Athens and other places around Greece amid a national strike on November 12. The protests were against the austerity measures introduced as part of Greece’s latest bailout program.

The strike was called by Greece’s largest unions.
