Greeks Hold Mass Protest Against Visiting Merkel 
-------------------------------------------------


 
Tens of thousands of anti-austerity protesters gathered in Athens,
Greece, Tuesday during a visit by German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Police fired tear gas and stun grenades as protesters tried to reach
Merkel, whom they hold partly responsible for the deep cuts Greece is
being forced to adopt in exchange for an international bailout.
Tuesday’s protest was one of the largest in months, with dozens of
protesters reportedly detained.
