Greek police and firemen are seen at the entrance of a bank pulling out a man who set himself on fire, apparently to protest his financial situation, in Thessaloniki, northern Greece, on Wednesday, June 2, 2010. Police said the man, who entered the Piraeus Bank branch with a can of fuel and set himself ablaze, was taken out unconscious and hospitalized with non life-threatening burns on his arms. Greece is in the midst of a debt crisis, and many people have trouble repaying bank loans.
