Greece’s new government wins confidence vote in parliament
Greece’s SYRIZA-led government has won a confidence vote in Parliament, ahead of high-stakes talks in Brussels with bailout creditors.
Lawmakers voted 162-137 for Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ government, elected on January 25 on a platform pledging to radically overhaul austerity in the financially struggling country.
Earlier, Tsipras struck a defiant tone, saying there is “no way back” in Greece’s quest to rewrite its bailout commitments. [AP]
