Protests are scheduled to take place in Germany on Friday. A rally in Berlin is to kick off at 6pm local time and in Bremen at 4pm. German protests are to be joined by demonstrations in Vienna, Salzburg and Brussels at 8pm local time.
Thousands of demonstrators have already taken to the streets of European cities showing support for cash-strapped Greece in the end of June and beginning of July. Protesters in Brussels, Amsterdam, London, France, Germany and Italy held rallies calling on Athens’ international creditors to bundle the loan.
Greece was to make the IMF loan payment of €1.6 billion by July 1, but failed to do so, becoming the first developed country to default on its international obligations on Wednesday. An additional €6.6 billion in payments to the ECB will come due in July and August.
