Greece: 500,000 People Protest Against Greek Austerity

Almost 500.000 Greeks protested outside parliament on Sunday against a fresh austerity package agreed in return for the country’s second bail-out in 13 months by the European Union and International Monetary Fund.

“Thieves, thieves….Where did our money go?” the protestors shouted, blowing whistles and waving Greek flags as riot police thickened ranks around the parliament building on Syntagma square in the center of the capital.

Sunday’s protest was the 12th in as many days, and organizers have vowed to make it the biggest in recent weeks.
