Civil servants in their thousands rallied today in downtown Athens from Klafthmonos square to the ministry of government reform on Vasilisis Sofias Avenue.

A week of mass mobilizations against staff mobility and availability in the public sector began with tension, as school guards besieging the government reform ministry clashed with riot police. Police used tear gas to drive away the protesters, resulting in two people being taken to hospital with respiratory complications.
