Greek protesters vowed on Tuesday to cordon off parliament to prevent deputies from debating new austerity measures, and unions said they would bring the country to a halt in a national strike on June 15.
Pressure is growing on Prime Minister George Papandreou's government, which is trying to muster support for a five-year plan that its international lenders say is crucial for them to extend more funding and enable Athens to avoid default.
European Union leaders and the European Central Bank are also split over whether private bondholders should share the burden of a fresh bailout plan.
