Hundreds of Greeks Protest Latest Bailout Reforms

HeadlineDec 16, 2015

Greek lawmakers have approved a new reform measure demanded by international lenders in exchange for the next batch of bailout funds. Outside the Parliament, hundreds rallied against austerity measures and vowed to continue fighting the bailout terms accepted by Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras. Communist Party leader Dimitris Koutsoumpas was among those to protest.

Dimitris Koutsoumpas: “This bill of prior actions that is being fast-tracked in Parliament, but also the austerity measures that are coming soon, show us that there is only one road for the workers’ movement: a long, continuous battle to fight against this system, against these measures that are bad for the people.”
