Fresh Greek austerity cuts strikes planned

Help

Strikes and protests are expected in Greece over plans for further austerity measures, including more wage and pension cuts.

The Greek government and senior 'Troika' representatives from the European Central Bank, the European Commission and the International Monetary Fund are struggling to agree an austerity package, in order to release aid payments and save Greece from bankruptcy.

Teachers, doctors and the military are among the groups expected to take to the streets.
