Outrage in Athens

Rioters
Protesters clash with riot police in Athens on October 19, 2011 as a two-day general strike began against a new austerity bill demanded by Greece's international creditors to avert bankruptcy. Over 52,000 people converged on central Syntagma Square, where parliament is located, in separate protests organized by unions and joined by unaffiliated Greeks.
