It’s been Greece’s third nationwide general strike in the past five months and the largest since SYRIZA leftists came to power last year. Tens of thousands have protested the government’s proposed austerity reforms bill. The tax overhauls could cripple the average income and cut pensions for a twelfth time since the start of the Greek financial crisis. Press TV’s Constantine Venizelos reports from Athens.
