I was watching TV this morning when I saw the Greek PM giving a live press conference so I jumped on my bike and whizzed off to the centre to take some pictures. Then as he was coming out I got a few pics.
"With the presence of 2000 extra police officers on the streets, snipers stationed on rooftops and helicopters circling overhead, downtown Thessaloniki resembles less a city celebrating the opening of a major trade fair than a town under siege.
The arrival of the Greek prime minister Kostas Karamalis in Greece’s second city has triggered massive street protests by those unhappy with his government’s handling of the economy and upset at a seemingly endless stream of financial scandals involving senior ministers."
