Protesting Greek teachers storm Parliament's courtyard and raise banner

A group of protesting Greek teachers tried to break the police cordon at the Monument of the Unknown Soldier and enter the courtyard of the Parliament on Tuesday evening. Eventually some of them, managed to climb the stairs and raise banners with slogans against layoffs and for a while there was tension with the police forces dressed in riot gear, who subsequently repelled the protesters. Teachers held a rally in central Athens fighting cuts to the education budget. In front of the Parliament at Syntagma Square, a group of them hold placards with letters forming the slogan "No to layoffs - Jobs for everyone". The protests, are in particular about the failure to hire teachers on permanent contracts. Teachers say that while there are gaps and shortages in teaching staff the Greek government brings layoffs, budget cuts, and the closure of many kindergartens. Athens Greece 19 April 2016
