Thousands Continue to Protest Austerity in Greece

HeadlineNov 18, 2011

Thousands of people rallied in Greece’s capital of Athens on Thursday to oppose austerity measures and mark the 38th anniversary of the student uprising against the Greek dictatorship. The protest was the first since a new Greek cabinet took office earlier this week as part of a shake-up to address the country’s economic crisis.

Protester: “The message in 1973 at the Polytechnic was 'rise up.' The message today is 'disobey, overturn the policies of the government, and overturn the policies of capitalists,' so we can have a different model for growth, and for a society that serves the working people.”
