Thousands Continue to Protest Austerity in Greece 
--------------------------------------------------



Thousands of people rallied in Greece's capital of Athens on Thursday to
oppose austerity measures and mark the 38th anniversary of the student
uprising against the Greek dictatorship. The protest was the first since
a new Greek cabinet took office earlier this week as part of a shake-up
to address the country's economic crisis.

Protester: "The message in 1973 at the Polytechnic was 'rise up.' The
message today is 'disobey, overturn the policies of the government and
overturn the policies of capitalists,' so we can have a different model
for growth, and for a society that serves the working people."
