More than a hundred thousand of people took to street in Greece. This is a part of two-day strike to protest against the austerity measures that the Greek parliament is about to vote upon. They claim while the austerity mesures cut their jobs, wages, and welfare, the aid money that the Greek government is looking for will go to financial institution in France, Germany and elsewhere.

The Greek austerity measures this time are:
- tax hikes
   higher the threshold for exemption from 5000 to 8000 euros
   lower the tax credits on consumer spending
   solidarity tax
- pension cuts 
   over 1000 euros a month by 20%
   pensioners below 55 by 40%
   supplementary pensions by 20 to 30%
   public sector employees by 20 to 30%   
- wage cuts of public sector workers by 20%
- job cuts of public sector workers by 30,000,
