The participants of the demonstration will reportedly demand that the government restores collective wage bargaining laws and revokes salaries and pension cuts, raising the minimum wage.
The Greek economy has been severely strained for several years due to the country’s multibillion-euro debt, accumulated after the 2008 world financial crisis.
Greece's international creditors signed an agreement with Athens last summer, approving a third bailout package worth about 86 billion euros ($97.3 billion) in exchange for austerity reforms, including pension cuts and tax hikes. The country's government led by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras pushed ahead with the reforms, and the prime minister has previously stated that he expects the country's GDP to return to growth by 2017.
