October 9, German Chancellor Angela Merkel visit Athens, the first visit to Greece since the European debt crisis.
But this time the "friendship line" has been strongly resisted by the local people. The picture shows a man run naked in the streets to protest.
The Reporter said: Protesters carried placards saying “Get out, you are not welcome, imperialists,” “Stop the Fourth Reich,” or “Out of the EU and IMF.” Some wore German army uniforms or burned swastikas. Many placards attacked the austerity measures the Greek government has pushed through in negotiations with the European Union.
It comes as Greece prepares to pass new cuts of 13bn euros (£10.5bn; $17bn) to qualify for more bailout cash, a policy that has sparked growing unrest.
"I hope and wish that Greece remains a member of the eurozone," she said. "As partners, we are working hard to achieve that."
Germany, as a creditor, also has has a growing image problem in many southern European countries, he said, something Mrs Merkel would like to change, especially in an election year.
