Smoke bombs and slogans - A river of rage and indignation all over the country. More than 2,000 protesters traveled to the main streets of the city of Serres, ending up in front of SYRIZA's offices lighting smoke bombs and shouting slogans against the government and Deputy Foreign Minister Markos Bolaris.

An intense verbal episode that ended with shoving, was noted in parliament, a few minutes after Stavros Theodorakis's speech.

The government said it hoped to review talks so far and outstanding issues with Greece's creditors (the institutions) by Friday, and to have completed all outstanding issues by February 27, a government official said on Thursday.
