Protesters clashed with police in the capital Athens over the upcoming voting of the Macedonian name deal in the Greek parliament. Many Greeks find the agreement with the neighboring country offensive in both historical and political terms. The protest came only days after the government’s junior coalition partner walked out against the new accord. Constantine Venizelos has more from Athens.
