ATHENS (Reuters) - Pharmacists pulled down their shutters across Greece on Wednesday and civil servants walked off their jobs in protest against a new bailout deal that saved Athens from bankruptcy but will impose more reforms on a country already deep in crisis.

Protesters marched against austerity in central Athens in the morning, holding banners reading "Cancel the bailout!" and "No to the policies of the EU, the ECB and the IMF" but only a few thousand people took part in the early rallies.
