Protests as MPs Vote on Austerity Measures

Greece faces a financial crisis, needing €28 billion in spending cuts to secure a bailout loan. Without it, Greece risks bankruptcy. Public protests in Athens reflect widespread opposition to more debt, with many believing the EU and IMF plans are detrimental.
