Right this is some footage i found on youtube of the ATHENS PROTESTERS i think its a disgrace to Athens and Greece because its a nice country and athens is really nice but anyway back on topic below is the reason why it happening and a video of what is happening
heres why its happening SHOCKING AMATEUR FOOTAGE !!! ATHENS PROTESTERS THROWING FIRE BOMBS AT POLICE !!! SHOCKING AMATEUR FOOTAGE ATHENS PROTESTS !!! BUILDING ON FIRE !!! Extensive scuffles amongst protesters and anti-riot police erupted in central Athens on Sunday evening ahead of a critical parliamentary vote within hours on an EU/International Monetary Fund rescue loans deal to avoid a bankruptcy in March.
Groups of hooded protesters have damaged and put on fire at least one bank branch and three stores in streets close to the parliament building, Greek media reported, clashing with police at the sidelines of a rally staged by labor unions against austerity.
According to unofficial information by local media which describe "the worst clashes in months," at least 11 persons have been slightly injured, amongst them a police officer. Police fired tear gas as youths attack with petrol bombs and stones.
Despite the tension out in the streets, and warnings by some 30 deputies of the two main parties backing the interim government of Lucas Papademos, later on Sunday night lawmakers are expected to approve the agreement that will pave the way for the release of further vital international aid to Greece.
Papademos warned that without a debt deal, the second since 2010, Greece would end up in a disorderly default with chaotic consequences. Critics of the agreement believed that the harsh conditions attached, that include new cuts on salaries and wages and layoffs of tens of thousands civil servants, will fuel recession.
Three articles will be put to Sunday's vote: an authorisation for Papademos and Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos to sign the bailout deal, an article on the bond swap plan with private creditors to ease the debt load and measures to recapitalize Greek banks.
The ratification of the bill is a prerequisite before international creditors could unlock the 130-billion euro (171.43 billion U.S. dollars) loans package on Wednesday.
With no deal and further aid, Greece faces default on March 20, when it should repay some 14.5 billion euros (19.12 billion U.S. dollars) in maturing debt.
