20,000 Greeks asked for a ‘breath of dignity’ at Athens Pro-Govt rally (Photos + Videos)

The call to “let Greece breathe” will sweep the country for the third time.

More than 20,000 citizens gathered on Sunday evening in central Athens, just a few hours ahead of Monday’s Eurogroup meeting on Greece, to express their solidarity with the Greek government.

Holding banners with anti-austerity slogans the demostrators asked again for a ‘breath of dignity,’ following the successful events on February 11 and February 5, when thousands of Athenian citizens expressed their solidarity and support in the “battle” between the Greek government and its EU partners.

A similar demonstration is taking place in central Thessaloniki.

The organizers of the party called all Greeks to put aside political differences and join the rally, by sending the following message:

“While the Greek delegation negotiates in Brussels for the settlement of the Greek debt, the image of Syntagma Square in Athens and the White Tower square in Thessaloniki packed with people may be their most powerful bargaining chip. The economic indexes and statistics must come second to the Greek people’s demand for independence, democracy, justice and dignity, the self-evident principles on which the European Union is supposedly based.”
