Trade unions have called an anti-austerity protest across the European Union on February 29, eve of an EU summit.
"The slogan will be 'Enough is enough!' Austerity measures are not the only response to the crisis," said Bernadette Segol, secretary-general of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC).
She said the aim of the day-long protest was to call on EU leaders to make employment their top priority.
Heads of state and government are to gather in Brussels on March 1 and 2 to agree a so-called fiscal compact aimed at tightening budgetary discipline between the eurozone nations.
