Greek police officers shout slogans and hold a banner that reads in Greek "How much does the life of a police officer cost Mr Tsipras?" and in German "How much does the life of a police officer costs Frau Merkel?" outside of the Greek Parliament during an anti-austerity protest in Athens on May 17, 2017.
Thousands of Greeks demonstrated on May 17 against a new round of austerity cuts in a 24-hour general strike that disrupted travel and shut down public services. Around 12,000 people took part in separate protests in Athens and another 6,000 in Thessaloniki according to police, a day before the measures are to be approved by parliament. / AFP PHOTO / Eleftherios ELIS (Photo credit should read ELEFTHERIOS ELIS/AFP/Getty Images)
