Protests on July 8 were unusually small, but marked by violence
Video at Fox News about the protests on Thursday. Though it has what you would expect (colorful KKE marchers) it also seems to make an unintentional point that the core demonstrators aren't so concerned about the pension overhaul as they are with old-fashioned revolutionary politics:
"While overall numbers at the protest were estimated at around 5,000, one of the lowest turn-outs this year, the number of extremists and radicals remained high, along with the potential for violence they bring.
Nearby the parliament, anarchists pounced on a man they apparently thought was a plainclothes policeman. Instead he was a government worker and was taken away in a comatose state."
