Thousands of Greeks took to the streets of Thessaloniki on Saturday to protest over the deal with neighbouring Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) that will see it renamed as ‘North Macedonia’.
The rally was organised to coincide with the arrival of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras at the International Trade Fair.
Riot Police fired teargas at a group of individuals who broke away from a main group of demonstrators and hurled stones close to barriers erected around the heavily guarded commercial park where the Prime Minister would be later delivering his annual policy address.
