“At least 1,000 bank workers fearing for their jobs staged a march on the Cyprus presidency on Saturday ahead of a planned protest outside parliament which is to debate a bailout to save the island from bankruptcy. The workers marched from union headquarters towards the presidential compound where they held a brief rally at the gates before heading towards the finance ministry. The marchers held placards that read: ‘Hands off provident funds’ and ‘No to the bankruptcy of Cyprus’ as well as ‘Let us dream.’ Police initially blocked the protesters from nearing the presidential palace before then letting them through.”
