ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Thousands of demonstrators marched through the streets of Athens Wednesday as part of a general strike that left ferries tied up in port and disrupted services across the country to protest changes to the country’s labor laws.
Many of the protesters also waved Palestinian flags and chanted “free, free Palestine” to voice their opposition to the war in Gaza.
