ATHENS, Greece, Aug. 14 (UPI) -- The Greek parliament approved the country's latest bailout after an all-night session Friday, as Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras faced a revolt within his own party.
Over seven hours of heated and angry debate, much of it within Tsipiras' Syriza Party, led to the vote in favor of accepting Greece's third bailout in five years. The European Union is prepared to loan Greece 85 billion Euros ($95 billion), as a 3.2 billion Euro ($3.57 billion) payment to the European Central Bank (ECB) on a previous loan looms with an Aug. 20 deadline. Failure to pay the ECB would likely end external funding to Greek banks and lead to the country's exit from the Eurozone of countries using the Euro.
