Greece: Licences handed in as austerity hits car owners

With other more pressing bills, many can not afford the levy and are queueing up at tax offices to hand in their licence plates – around 15 percent more than last year.

However, with cuts to wages and pensions, it is the ordinary people who are bearing the brunt of austerity.
