Гърция: Протестиращи изгориха знаме на Сириза след като Ципрас одобри програма

A protester burned a Syriza flag outside the Hellenic Parliament in central Athens, Monday, as hundreds of demonstrators turned out to decry the agreement between Eurogroup members and Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras to accept austerity measures and a new bailout programme earlier in the day. The new agreement comes just over a week after the Greek people rejected the demands of creditors in a national referendum, a draft statement released on Sunday 12 indicates the length of the demands of the creditors. These demands include the full implementation of automatic spending cuts, including pension reforms and other austerity measures. The Hellenic Parliament must now agree on and push through some of the measures by Wednesday, July 15 and further measures by Wednesday, July 22.
