Anti-austerity and pro-euro rallies in Athens on Sunday, Monday
Another anti-austerity protest and a demonstration in support of Greece remaining in the euro are due to take place on Sunday and Monday respectively.
The anti-austerity protest, which is supported by SYRIZA, has been planned for 7.30 p.m. on Sunday in Syntagma Square.
Its main slogan is “Democracy cannot be blackmailed.”
Monday’s pro-euro rally, which is backed by opposition parties, is due to take place at 7.30 p.m., also in front of Parliament.
Its slogan is “Greece-Europe-Democracy.”
The new round of rallies follows similar gatherings earlier this week, with anti-austerity protesters taking to the streets on Wednesday and pro-euro demonstrators giving voice to their opinions on Thursday.
Both rallies were reported to have gathered around 8,000 people.
