“The incident quickly touched a nerve in Greece, where the government is using increasingly tough methods to collect revenue under pressure from its international lenders to fix its finances. About 300 people, among them anti-bailout groups, marched to the cemetery where Kanaoutis’s funeral was held on Friday evening. After the service, dozens of youths pelted riot police with stones near the spot where he died. Protesters smashed the windows of a bus in the area and scrawled ‘Murderers’ in red paint on the windshield. ‘Kanaoutis died because he didn’t have a ticket worth 1.20 euros ($1.59),’ said the main opposition Syriza party in a statement.”
