Greece: austerity protesters reach prime minister's office
officer was hospitalized with light injuries
10 January, 18:57Police said one officer was hospitalized with light injuries while trying to stop the protesters getting out of a bus that drove up to the heavily-guarded site. The protesters eventually left peacefully and no arrests were reported.
Lawmakers on Wednesday began debating the 1,326-page bill that includes further benefit cuts, stricter rules on strikes, and plans to start online auctions of properties in mortgage default. The measures are deeply unpopular with the left-wing government's former political allies.
Protests are planned later Wednesday outside courts in opposition to the online auctions. (ANSA-AP).
