Greek MPs pass austerity bill as Athens police clash with protesters | 15 July 2015 | A draconian austerity bill designed to pave the way for a new bailout of Greece has been passed in the Athens parliament against the backdrop of deep splits in the ruling Syriza party and the most serious violence on the city's streets for months. Teargas filled the air outside the parliament as the debate took place with riot police clashing with anarchists and demonstrations against the bailout deal were joined by members of Syriza's own base. Greece's prime minister and Syriza's leader, Alexis Tsipras, has been under pressure from other eurozone states to ensure that the raft of tax rises and spending cuts was passed.
