A broad coalition led by the trade unions announced their first mass demonstration against austerity policies, imposed by the Troika (EU Commission, IMF and European Central Bank) for 14 December 2014. Unionists from workers, farmers, teachers and students organisations PEO, DEOK, OELMEK, POED, OLTEK, POAS, EKYSY, PSEM, and EKA, motivated the decision to organise this mass demonstration by the fact that the strict austerity measures imposed by the Troika and those who abide by its policies lead to the destruction of the social rights they have secured.
