US replicating same “drama” in Greece: Tsipras survives No-Confidence vote

3

After a scenario already seen in Macedonia, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras after some manufactured high-tension drama won a confidence vote on Wednesday, which will pave the way for parliament to ratify an accord he agreed last year with Macedonia.

Macedonian Deja-Vu

Just like in Macedonia Tsipras narrowly clinched the support of 151 lawmakers in the 300 seat parliament, meeting the threshold he had set to avoid calling early elections.

He called the confidence vote on Sunday, after his right-wing coalition partner Panos Kammenos resigned in protest over the accord.
