Protesters gathered for a second day outside the country’s Parliament House in central Athens in a demonstration against government austerity measures.

The crowd of protesters that call themselves “The Exasperated of Syntagma,” has reached about 1,000 people so far, even in rainy weather, according to an Athens police spokesman, who wouldn’t be named in line with policy.

More than 15,000 people gathered in front of the Greek Parliament yesterday evening to protest against the political and economic situation in Greece, while 50 of them stayed in the main Athens square all night, according to the police spokesman.
