Clashes have erupted outside the Parliament in the Greek capital. Police have deployed pepper spray and tear gas against protestors hurling Molotov cocktails and rocks during an anti-austerity rally attended by thousands.
Riot police used pepper spray and tear gas to suppress a large crowd of people, who began hurling Molotov cocktails and rocks at police officers. Earlier, police estimated the number of anti-austerity protesters at Syntagma Square at about 12,500 people.
The clashes broke out as the Greek parliament began to debate an austerity bill requiring consumer tax increases and pension reforms.
