Public workers and pharmacists in Greece have gone on strike and launched a protest against proposed austerity measures set to be debated by parliament on Wednesday. Meanwhile, pensioners are expected to hold a separate demonstration.

A few thousand protesters hit the streets of central Athens, holding banners reading, “Cancel the bailout!” and “No to the policies of the EU, the ECB and the IMF.”

ADEDY, the civil servants union, called for the strike on Monday, stressing its opposition to the measures required for a eurozone bailout deal to go ahead.

Those measures include raising taxes, as well as the country’s retirement age – conditions that were rejected by voters in the July 5 referendum.
