Greece, green light to the austerity plan

The Greek Parliament has approved the austerity plan. Despite the heavy climate that reigned in the squares (several injured in the clashes between demonstrators and the police) the plan obtained the yes, decisive for saving the Hellenic country. The approved measures include 28,4 billion in cuts between 2012 and 2015 and 50 billion in new revenues from privatizations. 
Protesters in Athens had crowded since the early hours of this morning to protest, even trying to prevent MEPs from entering Parliament to vote.
