Blockupy is a movement protesting against austerity. The Blockupy alliance includes trade unions and Germany's Linkspartei.[1]

Representing grass-roots critics of supranational financial institutions such as the “troika”: the European Commission (EC), European Central Bank (ECB) and International Monetary Fund (IMF),[2] its name is derived from the Occupy movement which sprang up in Wall Street in 2011.[2]

Organisers have verbally supported (since July 2015, former) Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis's criticism that ECB policy towards Athens is "asphyxiating".[2]
