Greece's Tsipras Heckled over 'Macedonia' Deal in London (video)


A small group of protesters heckled Greece’s Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras over the ‘North Macedonia’ agreement as he was leaving a meeting with entrepreneurs in London on Monday.
Following the meeting at the Hellenic Centre, some taunted him in Greek with shouts of ‘traitor’. One protester threw coins on the pavement in a gesture, accusing Tsipras of having sold out on the name of FYROM in exchange for debt relief.

Unfazed, Tsipras kept his smile, got into his car and was driven away as people continued to shout.
Meanwhile, in Thessaloniki, dozens clashed with police on Monday in a second day of violence as they tried to storm a presentation by the ruling SYRIZA party aimed at explaining the virtues of a the deal with FYROM.
Protesters, some of whom were draped in the Greek flag, chanted “Macedonia is Greek” and shouted “traitors” as they pelted police with rocks. Riot police responded with rounds of tear gas.
Recent polls show up to 70 percent of Greeks object to the name compromise.
