Tsipras Returns to Parliament in Struggle for Third Bailout

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras returns to the Greek parliament on Wednesday seeking support from the opposition to help him overcome his own party’s rebellion against the terms of a third bailout.

Greek lawmakers are voting on a second package of measures the country’s creditors demanded as a condition for starting discussions on an aid program worth up to 86 billion euros ($93 billion). Tsipras was forced to reshuffle his government last week after lawmakers from his party led by former Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis opposed the first set of reforms.
