59 Photos Of The Chaos In Greece

Athens is still reeling from the riots which burned 45 buildings and triggered a forceful crackdown by police. Protesters were furious with the severe austerity cuts passed by Parliament in order to accept an EU bailout package. Demonstrations continued today, but nowhere near the ferocity of what was seen over the weekend.

A message on a burning building in the center of Athens saying 'Hungry? Eat your local Pasok politician' is seen during the demonstration against the new austerity measures in Syntagma Square on February 12, 2012 in Athens, Greece. Greece's creditors have demanded further austerity measures before approving a new bailout from the European Union, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund amid renewed concerns the country may default.
