RT talks to financial journalist Demetri Kofinas from Athens.
Violent clashes have broken out in Greece during massive nationwide strikes. Hundreds of thousands of workers are protesting ahead of a parliamentary vote on a harsh set of tax hikes and spending cuts. 28 billion euro worth of cuts are needed before the EU agrees to hand Greece another cash bailout. It's considered to be the country's last resort to avoid becoming the first Eurozone nation to default. But both the cuts, and the high-interest bailout, are deeply unpopular. More than 5 thousand police have been deployed for the march on Parliament. RT talks to Yanis Varoufakis, lecturer at Athens University, for more on what's happening.
RT is joined by financial journalist Petros Papaconstantinou, columnist at an Athens newspaper.
