PUBLIC sector workers stormed a building where Greek and German officials were meeting in the northern city of Thessaloniki on Thursday and pelted a German diplomat with water bottles in a protest over austerity measures.
Police used teargas and truncheons to break up a crowd of 250 city employees outside the building and formed a shield around German Consul Wolfgang Hoelscher-Obermaier as he entered.
Protesters chanted "It's now or never!" and held up mock gravestones and banners proclaiming "Fight until the end!".
Union leaders were furious at comments by German envoy Hans-Joachim Fuchtel, who said on Wednesday that Greece could do more to reform its bloated local government sector.
