Greek riot police have fired tear gas at hundreds of anti–austerity protesters who tried to break a cordon outside Parliament.
No arrests or injuries were reported after Tuesday’s clashes, during a demonstration by Greece’s two biggest labor unions against new harsh cutbacks demanded to avoid the country’s looming bankruptcy.
Police said up to 8,000 people took part in the protest outside Parliament. Another 6,000 joined in a separate, peaceful demonstration organized by a Communist union.
