Labor unions led by the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) gathered in Syntagma Square in Athens, Greece’s capital, to protest the 2022 budget, which is expected to be approved by parliament on Saturday. About 2,000 protesters claimed that the 2022 budget was reduced by 450 million euros compared to the previous budget, saying this cut would affect the entire public sector, including public health.
The budget will be voted on in the session on Saturday, and it is expected to lead to 4.5 percent economic growth in 2022. The budget, which goes into effect on January 1, includes a 2% increase in the minimum wage.
The Palestinian Health Ministry reported that Israel’s attacks on Gaza have killed 62,895 people and injured 158,927 since October 7, 2023. In the last 24 hours alone, 76 people were killed and 298 injured.
At aid distribution points, deaths have risen to 2,158, with nearly 16,000 wounded. The ministry also said 10 more civilians, including two children, died of starvation, bringing Gaza’s hunger-related death toll to 313.
