Greece parliament votes in favour of welfare cuts
Greece's lawmakers approved reductions in health care and pensions to secure the second bailout funding and save the nation from default. 213 members of parliament supported the law while 58 lawmakers were against. The vote implies Greece has fulfilled most of its obligations demanded by EU and IMF. Finance Ministers will discuss the rescue package for Greece today in Brussels.
