Demonstration

: This is the first demonstration I’ve joined in for the last five years because it the first time that we’ve been at risk of quitting the euro, said Alexandra Spei, a 50-year-old accountant, according to Euro News. I can’t imagine what the consequences would be like but I am sure it would be catastrophic. Greece future in the bloc and even in the EU has hung in the balance as the leftist government of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, which swept to power five months ago on a platform of resisting austerity, has reached deadlock with its creditors. The demonstration, joined by some members of the country previous conservative government, appeared to be slightly larger than one a day earlier by supporters of the ruling Syriza party who urged the government to reject creditor demands for pension cuts and VAT hikes in exchange for vital financial support. A clash with the lenders, which are our partners in fact, will lead to an exit from the euro, said 50-year-old Eleftherios Zygouras, who sells car parts. Opinion polls show strong support among Greeks for remaining in the euro despite the widespread resentment at the austerity policies impose4d by its creditors, the European Union, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund.
