Anti-austerity protest held in Cyprus
‘Several thousand Cypriots have staged a protest rally in the capital, calling on the government to end austerity policies they say have driven many in the bailed-out country to poverty.
The Wednesday protest, organized by a platform of nearly 20 Cypriot groups, dubbed the Society Reacts and Demands, including left-wing and student organizations, was held on the eve of a meeting by the European Central Bank (ECB) on the island.
The rally started at three meeting points in Nicosia and demonstrators marched to the city’s conference center to protest the harsh austerity cuts, urging the government to spend more on job creation.’
