Attending tonight’s demonstration is Mikalis Simeakis, who used to work as a producer for TV and radio commercials but has been unemployed for nearly four years; he lost two jobs in succession at the start of the crisis.

He tells Emma:

“We feel there has been a coup in our country. Tsipras let down everyone. I didn’t vote him but I supported him in the referendum two weeks ago.”

“You might not see that many people here, because the government has made people think that no matter what they do nothing will change, but it doesn’t mean they want this”

“If English people want to leave the EU, we want to leave ten times more.”
