Protests in Athens ended today after police fired tear gas in response to fire-bombs thrown by demonstrators during a strike over wage cuts and austerity that Prime Minister Antonis Samaras said are vital to keep the euro.
Demonstrators earlier filled central Syntagma Square in Athens, opposite the Parliament House, shouting slogans such as “struggle, clash, overturn: history gets written by those who disobey.” Police spokesman Takis Papapetropoulos estimated the crowd at 35,000 people. Police said 105 people were detained, 21 were arrested and 8 officers were injured.
