A strong police contingent was mobilized late Tuesday night to enable Greek MPs and Parliament employees to leave the Parliament building. It was blocked off by protestors of the movement in downtown Athens on the seventh day of peaceful protests.
The entrance to the Parliament building was blocked for several hours by protestors who converged in central Syntagma Square in growing numbers, to demonstrate against harsh austerity measures.
