Latest 'sit down' protest at Syntagma Square



















Another "Los Indignados" style rally was held on Friday afternoon in downtown Syntagma Square in Athens, while on Sunday rallies are to be held in all European capitals. 
For two days the mostly social media-fueled call to Syntagma Square met with increased response. Groups of young people, families, senior citizens, and even pupils with their teachers were present at the mass protest -- unprecedented by Greek standards, as there was little or no visible influence by trade unions, political parties or any of a variety of ideological fronts. 
Hundreds of people also continued their mobilisation before the White Tower in Thessaloniki for the second day on Thursday.
