Alexis Tsipras’ governing coalition received the backing of all 155 of its lawmakers in the 300-seat parliament, with all opposition members voting against.

Tsipras’ speech concluded a three-day debate on his policy platform.
Tsipras was elected on a four-year mandate Sept. 20, despite ditching the anti-austerity rhetoric that first got him elected in January. He has now pledged to implement all tax hikes, income cuts and economic reforms he agreed to in July to secure a third bailout for Greece worth 86 billion euros…
