Anger & frustration in Athens over bailout talks
雅典因救助談判憤怒而沮喪
Well Europe's push for tough reforms haven't been greeted with enthusiasm in Greece, even sparking an anti-austerity demonstration in front of parliament buildings in Athens. Our correspondent Kate Parkinson told us about the mood at the protest scene.
There is growing anger and frustration in Greece that the country could be on the edge implementing toughest austerity plan yet. Certainly people not happy that despite the fact that majority of Greek people voted overwhelming to reject austerity measures in last Sunday's referendum. There PM Alexi Tsipras is currently in Brussels negotiating a deal that would mean very tough austerity measures.
Here in Greece we have seen protests outside the parliament building just behind me here this evening. Groups from the radical left also anti-establishment groups making their voices heard.
The groups that protesting tonight are certainly extremely angry with PM and his left government. They angered very much directed towards the government. There are also people in Greece who also believe that Tsipras had made a very difficult decision but he has done for the sake of the country, and this is the Greece's best chance to stay in the Eurozone. And their anger is very much directed towards Europe and European creditors.
Now the Europe are asking Greece to implement a raft reforms in the next 48 hours. The PM's government is going to use emergency measures that is in the constitution which allows the government to force through government quickly. It's highly controversial, which mean PMs don't have time to read the legislation, no time to debate it. They just go very quicly to vote .....Alexi Tsipras may have no other choice. Likely we are going to see more protests on the streets as people voice their frustration.
