Riot police scuffled with medical staff at an Athens public hospital on Wednesday during a protest over the state of public health services held during a visit to the facility by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
Police in riot gear fired volleys of pepper spray and used shields and batons to push away doctors at the University General Hospital Attikon who were demanding to meet with Mitsotakis, local media reported. The health workers were protesting staff shortages, low pay and poor working conditions.
