Thousands of firefighters demonstrated on Thursday, October 31, at the Ministry of Civic Protection demanding their contracts to be renewed against the government’s decision to lay them off at the end of the season.
After the Minister refused to meet them the firefighters entered the Ministry demanding immediate meeting and contracts that will guarantee them steady jobs.
The Government responded with the use of Riot Police, with violent attacks using tear gas and water canons.
During the attack several firefighters were injured and detained. Also arrested was a journalist of Rizospastis newspaper (of the KKE, Communist Party of Greece) who was covering the protest.
