Hundreds of Greeks Protest Latest Bailout Reforms 
--------------------------------------------------


 
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."
