Greece’s parliament has backed a government package of economic reforms aimed at ending the country’s debt crisis and securing a new bailout. After winning cross-party support in a late-night vote, PM Alexis Tsipras said he had a “strong mandate” to complete negotiations with Greece’s creditors. However, some of his own MPs withheld their support in protest at austerity measures contained in the new package. The proposals are to be studied by eurozone finance ministers later.
