Greek general strike - Thessaloniki, Greece 20th May 2010

Greek general strike - Thessaloniki, Greece 20th May 201

About 10,000 people took part in two protest marches today in Thessaloniki. The demonstrations passed off peacefully and the police kept a discrete distance so managed to avoid inflaming a tense situation. Though the demo was smaller than the one on 5th May it was still reasonably well-attended. For more pictures check out my Demotix story.
