Greece’s best-known living composer Mikis Theodorakis has drawn a crowd of more than 20,000 people at a rally against austerity measures.
The 85-year-old composer of “Zorba the Greek” called the terms of the €110 billion ($158 billion) bailout loan deal a “national betrayal” and urged opposition parties not to back the agreement.
Theodorakis spoke to a rally in central Athens, in support of protesters camped at city squares across Greek for a week after organizing rallies on the Internet — inspired by ongoing Spanish street protests.
