Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is facing protests from members of his own Syriza party after accepting harsh austerity measures in exchange for an international bailout. In order for the deal to move forward, the Greek Parliament must accept pension cuts and other reforms by Wednesday, 10 days after voters rejected similar reforms in a referendum. Hundreds gathered in Athens Monday to protest the deal.

Dimitris Mitropoulos, teacher: “[Greek Prime Minister Alexis] Tsipras and his government betrayed the Greek people. He asked them a question, the Greek people answered, so what we have today is a betrayal. It’s bordering on a coup, if not actually a coup, and this coup was not brought about solely by Brussels, which said, 'We don't care about your referendum or your mandate against austerity.’ The coup was also brought about by the government.”
