Anti-Austerity

The vote occurred on the second day of a 48-hour general strike which shut down hospitals, schools and government services and brought public transport to a standstill. Police estimated there were at least 50,000 people at a rally called against the measures, making it one of the biggest anti-austerity protests in the country since Greece sparked the European debt crisis in 2009.
