Not arretriamo. We win ” is the slogan of the event organized in a few hours on social networks. The square has mobilized after the icy reception of capital and institutions of Europe to plan Alexis Tsipras.
“We want the government to respect the mandate of the greek people. The word is just austerity. We are for a Europe of development, “says a man
” We can not afford more of these austerity measures. We can no longer respond to the programs imposed by Germany. We can only do what is humanly possible, you should at least sit down and talk about the problems of Greece ” says a lady.

Demonstrations were held simultaneously in all major Greek cities, “says Giannis Giaginis, euronews correspondent in Athens.
