Greece Bank Reopen as Tsipras Purges Syriza's Ranks 
----------------------------------------------------


 
Greek banks have reopened for the first time in three weeks, just days
after the Greek Parliament approved harsh austerity measures in exchange
for a new bailout. The Greek stock market remains closed. Meanwhile,
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has replaced nearly a dozen cabinet
members and Syriza party officials who voted against last week's bailout
deal. On Friday, Tsipras ousted the energy minister, labor minister and
former government spokesperson, as well as at least eight additional
ministers or deputy ministers.
