Workers stage counter-protest at disputed Greek gold mine

ATHENS (Reuters) - Workers at a Canadian-run gold mine in northern Greece staged a counter-protest on Monday against its threatened closure, a day after scuffles broke out at a demonstration by activists opposed to the project.

About 200 workers gathered at two sites in the scenic Halkidiki region, briefly blocking roads in protest at a government decision which Canadian Eldorado Gold said put all 2,000 jobs at the site at risk.
