The protests came amid a 24-hour nationwide strike that paralysed the country, as flights to and from Greece were grounded, public transport, schools and government services were shut, and hospitals were left to operate with emergency staff only.
Prosvjedi su održani u trenutku 24-satnog općeg štrajka koji je paralizirao zemlju jer su letovi u Grčku i iz zemlje bili obustavljeni, kao i javni promet, škole i vladine službe, a bolnice su radile samo s osnovnim osobljem.
