Strikes in Greece intensified

Greece is experiencing severe economic and now social and political crisis. Today, the airspace over the country was closed due to the second general strike, which conducted the trade unions in protest against government measures to reduce labor costs and the social sphere. The strike was organized at the call of the two largest trade unions of the country - private sector employees and employees of the public sector. They are almost 5.5 million. As a result, the country is now closed airports and railway stations, and schools and hospitals will not work during the day. And the strikers, who take to the streets, should join the police, firefighters and customs. The protesters oppose the Government's measures for fiscal austerity in connection with the current crisis in the country. It is noteworthy that the representatives of the Greek government announced that empathize with people in connection with higher taxes and reduced wages, but the authorities can not refuse to take decisions aimed at reducing the budget deficit.
