Workers in Greece are planning to go on a general strike as the Parliament of the country is discussing new austere measures. The government is supporting the policies aimed at fulfilling the conditions for the EU and IMF's bail-out package. Greece has already been ranked the least credit-worthy country. Activists and unionists plan to gather at Syntagma Square on the front steps of the assembly in central Athens today, on Wednesday. They are against the government’s proposals, which would see 6.5bn Euros (£5.7bn; $9.4bn) worth of tax rises and spending cuts this year. It means the country is losing faith in its leadership. But Greece is one of those rare states the people of which are struggling to change the situation.
