Greece parliament approves harsh austerity measures

[Prepper1]

The Greece parliament has adopted an 18.5-billion-euro (23.6-billion-US dollar) austerity package amid clashes between police and angry protesters in the capital Athens.

On Wednesday, the Greek lawmakers voted for the bill that cuts pensions by up to 15%, reduces some wages by a third, and raises the retirement age to 67.

"These measures essentially bring us many years back. All the labor rights the Greek people won post-World War II and post-dictatorship are taken back," union activist Marie Lavrentiadou said, adding, “The measures are not voted in the conscience of the Greek people, and they can be ousted.”
