Greece, notes

Nespokojenost v Recku , Dissatisfaction, social unrest in Greece

Greek protesters have hurled firebombs and stones at police outside parliament, while unions grounded flights and shut down public offices in a 13th day of anti-government protests since police shot dead a teenager.

About 7,000 people took part in the protest against the government's social and economic reforms, which many Greeks say have failed to shelter Greeks from the global economic crisis, and which were unleashed by the teenager's killing.

'Not finished'
Rallies by unions, students and teachers also took place in the northern city of Thessaloniki and on the island of Crete.
