Today marks Labour Day in Greece, and includes massive rallies and strikes.

In a symbolic action of overcoming the Greek financial crisis, Syntagma Square's marble stones have been reset and Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras' six floor windows has been replaced.

In the past years Athens' central and most emblematic square has been damaged repeatedly as marble tiling was removed and broken by protesters to hurl at police, surfaces were vandalized by graffiti, statues were defaced.
