Greek PM faces week of protests over new austerity bill

Greece’s prime minister faces protests this week over a bill that must pass for the country to receive a fresh tranche of EU-IMF aid.

“Stress test in the parliament and on the streets” said the front page To Vima weekly on Sunday, while left-leaning Eleftherotypia discussed a “political heatwave.”

One month after conservative Prime Minister Antonis Samaras’s controversial shutdown of state broadcaster ERT, a bill outlining reforms including a redeployment plan affecting thousands of civil servants has caused widespread protests.
