The Greek parliament passed a sweeping package of austerity measures demanded by European partners as the price for opening talks on a multi-billion euro bailout package needed to keep the near-bankrupt country in the euro zone.
The vote followed a fiery debate in which many lawmakers on the left of the ruling Syriza party revolted against Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and denied the package which passed with the support of opposition parties.
