Military protest against austerity

Demonstrations in Athens don't stop because of the weekend. Today, it's the turn of Greek Military serving or retired people .

They protest against the cuts in salaries and pensions.

The appointment was at 16.00p.m. at Klafthmonos Square or the Square of Crying. The square was named after the public servants that used to gather there anxiously waiting for the election result. At that time they were not permanent and every time greek government changed they lost their jobs and burst in tears.

One more protest march heading to the Parliament is about to start.

In Greece, the salary of the head of the army is 1700 euros. In 2014, further cuts are expected.
