A few thousand people gathered in Nicosia on Saturday morning, to protest austerity measures imposed as part of Cyprus’ international bailout. Protesters marched from the finance ministry to the Presidential Palace, carrying banners and chanting slogans against “harsh austerity” and the troika of lenders. The protest was organised by a number of unions, including PEO, affiliated to former ruling party AKEL.
The European Commission, the ECB, and IMF, collectively known as the troika, bailed out Cyprus to the tune of 10 billion euros in March.
