Greek Students, Teachers, Civil Servants Plan Protests
Students, teachers and civil servants will rally in Greece on Wednesday to protest against the high cost of living, saying they face the same problems that sparked violent demonstrations in France at the weekend. Gatherings are expected around midday (0900 GMT) in Athens and Thessaloniki, the country's second-largest city. "In Greece like in France, we are demanding public, free education," Katia Koubousidou, head of a student union at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, told AFP.
