Strikes were organised by GSEE and ADEDY and several smaller unions and federations on Friday when the centre of Athens and other cities were shut down by large rallies and marches.
The protests coincided with the decision of the Greek parliament on Friday to approve a €4.8bn austerity package aimed at slashing the budget deficit and ‘rebuilding credibility with international financial markets’.
