MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Over 4,000 protesters from all over the country took part in Wednesday's rally, according to Ekathimerini newspaper.

The Greek economy has been badly strained for several years amid a multibillion debt accumulated by previous governments.
In August, the international creditors of Greece, including the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank and some EU member states, approved the third package of financial aid of Greece of 86 billion euros ($94.8 billion) in exchange for introduction of additional reforms and austerity measures, such as reduction of pensions and increase of taxes.
