Tens of thousands of anti-austerity protesters gathered in Athens, Greece, Tuesday during a visit by German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Police fired tear gas and stun grenades as protesters tried to reach Merkel, whom they hold partly responsible for the deep cuts Greece is being forced to adopt in exchange for an international bailout. Tuesday’s protest was one of the largest in months, with dozens of protesters reportedly detained.
