Athenian citizens reacted positively, through social network websites, to the call to assemble in Syntagma Square and demonstrate Spanish-style.
Thousands of people, mostly young people, flooded the city's main square, declaring peaceful indignation over the austerity measures.
Sporadic slogans against the government's economic policy were heard so far at the gathering, without the presence of police forces, while banners were also raised calling for a referendum to be held.
