Thousands of people in Portugal have backed the position of the Greek Syriza party just months before parliamentary elections at home.

„I am here today in solidarity with the fight of the Greek people and to show my solidarity with the ones who tomorrow will vote ‘No’ to austerity measures,“ said one protester at a rally in Lisbon Saturday.

„I’m here to show solidarity to the Greek people for having the courage that we still did not have,“ added another.
