Athens, April 30: Police fired teargas to disperse a few hundred protesters outside Greece’s finance ministry who were demonstrating against austerity measures.
“There were minor scuffles and rounds of teargas fired,” a police official said.
The protesters, mostly supporters of the Coalition of the Left opposition party carried anti-IMF banners.
Greece’s socialist government is negotiating the terms of an emergency funding package with the International Monetary Fund and the European Union to deal with its debt crisis.
