Greece in 48 hour disruption
Flights to Greece could face disruption today as the country faces a 48-hour strike across public and private sectors in protest of the proposed new wave of spending cuts.
The latest strike – which includes protest marches through the centre of Athens – includes air traffic controllers, public transport workers, lawyers, taxi drivers and hospital staff.
The action coincides with a debate in parliament on the austerity measures, with a vote by MPs due on Wednesday.
Proposals for a fifth consecutive cut to pensions, an increase in the retirement age and reductions to salaries, benefits and healthcare, has sparked fury among Greece’s population, reports the BBC.
Greece must back the measures, and the 2013 budget, to receive the next part of a bailout and avoid bankruptcy.
