VOICED : Sindicatos griegos en pie de lucha contra la austeridad

The transcript discusses the Greek protests against new austerity measures debated in Parliament. Public and private sector unions initiated a 24-hour general strike affecting public transport and flights in Athens. The government, led by Alexis Tsipras, is implementing austerity measures dictated by the IMF and EU to open debt relief negotiations. Despite being a leftist government, it is seen as extremely neoliberal. The measures, including pension cuts and tax hikes, must be adopted by Parliament before Friday and will be applied from 2018 to 2021.
