In Athens, about 30,000 protesters marched outside the nation‘s parliament building, jeering lawmakers and calling them „thieves“ and „robbers.“ Some youths clashed with riot police, pelting them with stones, water bottles and oranges.

Police responded by firing several rounds of tear gas and pepper spray. At least a dozen demonstrators injured during about 15 minutes of mayhem were rushed to hospitals, as tourists and bystanders scattered in panic.
