"Clashes erupted after more than 100,000 protesters marched to parliament to rally against drastic austerity cuts that will ax one in five civil service jobs and slash the minimum wage by more than a fifth."
If all of these people were from Athens, 1 in 6 people in the city were involved in this.
The Greek police continue to monitor and "break up" the unruly protests, however they are also demanding the arrests of EU and IMF officials for "blackmail, covertly abolishing or eroding democracy and national sovereignty"
ITT discuss how Greece got into this situation, how it applies to the rest of the world, and what we can learn from what is happening now. or you know, call them all dirty hippies like you normally would.
