Some 3,500 police will be deployed at the weekend in the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki where unions are planning protests against a new round of austerity that is set to see pensions and some state salaries cut further.
Police finalized measures a day before Saturday’s rallies by the country’s largest unions, which strongly oppose the cuts worth at least 11.5 billion ($14.4 billion) for 2013-14.
Police officers, themselves affected by the new measures, are planning their own demonstration in Thessaloniki earlier Saturday.
