parliament in the country's biggest anti-austerity rally in months. ---- Police fired
teargas as a minority of protesters threw stones and petrol bombs against them. --The

rushed to the square to put out a fire that had broken out in the National Gardens during
the clashes. A kiosk was set on fire by a group of hooded men. ---- The two main umbrella
trade union organisations representing workers in the private and public sectors, the
General Confederation of Employees of Greece (GSEE) and the civil servants' union
federation ADEDY, have declared a 24-hour nationwide strike in protest against the
finalisation of the new package of austerity measures.

Participating in the strike are municipality employees and civil servants, staff in
state-run public utilities, teachers, doctors and hospital staff, as well as merchants,
lawyers, civil engineers and bank employees. Tax office, customs and finance ministry
staff launched a three-day strike on the same day.

out of parliament on Wednesday in a show of support for the working people.
