Reshuffled Greek Cabinet Takes over to Enact Unpopular Reforms
2015-07-19
[ALMANAR.LB] A revamped Greek government took over Saturday in an effort to enforce a third bailout accompanied by tough fiscal reforms opposed by a sizeable section of the ruling Syriza party.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Friday reshuffled his administration to fill the vacancies left by three cabinet members who were sacked after voting against the reforms in parliament last week.

Tsipras faced down a mutiny from his party in parliament last week, with over 30 of his 149 politicians refusing to approve the package of tax hikes, pension reform and privatizations demanded by lenders.

Greece must approve a second batch of banking and justice-related reforms on Wednesday to qualify for a three-year bailout of up to 86 billion euros ($94 billion).

#4  I've misread "greek food" in your post, swksvolFF. Which brings me to a question: what's authentic geek food?

#3  In order to eat authentic greek food you must be able to send the bill to the bistro across the street.
