Protest against planned pension reforms in Greece

A pensioner takes part in a demonstration against planned pension reforms outside the parliament building in Athens, Greece, December 15, 2017. Many protesters arrived from other cities to join the demonstration in front of the parliament. The rally paralyzed traffic in the densely populated city.They waved signs with slogans such as "thieves, liars, give us our lives back" or "we earned pensions which you cut with our blood."Greece has agreed to hundreds of reforms over the past seven years in order to meet the conditions for three bailouts since it went into a financial meltdown in 2010.Pensions have been reduced more than a dozen times since then.Other austerity measures routinely trigger big protests.
