Greek Demonstrators Protest Austerity Measures 
-----------------------------------------------



Thousands of Greeks have taken to the streets of Athens to protest a new
round of austerity measures. This week Greece's government unveiled more
cuts and privatizations in response to the country's debt crisis. On
Wednesday, a large crowd marched on the Greek parliament.

Protester: "They have mortgaged our future and our present without
asking us and with the excuse that there is no other way, while we know
very well that there is another way. It's that simple. They must leave
and never come back here."
