At least one person has been injured as Greek police used tear gas against protesters, trying to prevent them from breaking to the parliament building in Athens on Wednesday. Greek legislators are due to come up with a decision on austerity cuts, leading to massive lay-offs. Earlier in the day the Greek police had blocked the streets leading to the parliament and in the recent events that led to the injury, clashed with a group of protesters, labeled "indignant", who tried to encircle the building. The "indignant" have been protesting outside the parliament for about a month and co-ordinated the recent action through Facebook. The development comes as part of massive protests, hitting Greece since Tuesday. The protestig Greeks don`t want to pay the debt, which they say they didn`t make, says Despina Koutsoumba from the country`s Civil Servants Trade Union, who is with the demonstrators in Athens. "Capitalists want the employees and the working class to pay for this crisis. We say `no`. We say `tax the rich people`. We say `don`t sell anything this country owns`. The public debt they say we have to pay is not our debt! We didn`t decide on it. We didn`t ask for it!" she told RT. The bill voted on Wednesday will leave Greeks impowerished and put the sovereignty of Greece itself under question, the activist believes. If the parliament passes it, the ruling party will be out of power after the next election, she promissed. "They are trying not to hear us. But even if they vote for this awful law in the parliament, they will not have many days in the government… The Socialist Party that governs now has lost everyone who voted for [them]. They said one things before the election and they do other things now. They are leading our country to a catastrophy and it is something we will not tolerate! It`s a matter of life or death for the people of my country!" she said. Anarchists who joined in the rally, run by a number of Greek trade unions, have reportedly lit garbage bins in central Athens and the smoke is drifting over the city. The parliament is due to vote on massive new austerity cuts on Wednesday, which will allow Greece to receive a new EU-backed transaction of 12 billion euros. The cuts will lead to massive bailouts and, according to the unions, to further deterioration of the situation with employment in the country. The parliament has already started talks, which began 30 minutes later than planned due to the rally. It is believed that the country`s Prime Minister Georgiou Papandreou has a good chance of receiving the number of votes necessary for the legislation to pass. On Tuesday Papandreou called on the legislators to fulfill their "patriotic duty." Many investors say that the PM is likely to succeed in obtaining the desired cuts. About 20,000 protesters hit the streets of Athens on Tuesday to protest prospective austerity cuts. At least 46 people have been injured in clashes with the police, who used tear gas to disperse protesters.
