Greece: Critical austerity vote amid protests, Supreme Court: New measures are unconstitutional!! Riots started!

with those Pasok members absent, and the 'present' vote, will it still pass?

Barely, but probably yes. Absent/present is tricky coz it doesn't count as a no, it just reduces the number of MP's.

Some videos from protesters cameras/phones!

Greek MP's average salary got reduced too by 492 euros to 5000 euros per month.

They only get 5000€ per month for sitting around and selling Greece's future off. Those poor bastards. Someone should put them out of their misery.

:hangem:

Some get more, but Greek politicians also don't pay for housing if they are not from Athens, free travel tickets, free phone bills, 105 euros for every extra session, 1000 for postage expenses , about 1000 for office expenses and other things but most importantly lots of other things we simpletons probably don't know.

chancellor merkel is at 20500 €/monthly......

Heard something about it, is it true?

Anything on the vote yet? Or is it too soon?

Sounds almost as unbelievable as it is in the EU parliament. They dont even pretend to work there. They just get there in the morning write their name on some paper and then get fully paid for that day. Then they fly back home on tax payers expense.

These scumbags get everything for free and drink champagne while the normal person actually has to pay for their bullshit.

Greek politicians probably are close, they don't pay for pretty much everything. That's not counting the corrupt contracts with various foreign and Greek companies.

I actually can understand that the leader of the government has to earn good money, they actaully do something every day. But most members of parliament just raise their arms and vote when needed. They do almost nothing thats worth paying for.

I think this dude is the last one, he's replacing the final PM speech, rumors saying that PM gone missing from the parliament.

Someone got him!

That would be great but he probably went for a snack or a smoothie somewhere. Reporters said that the parliament's cafeteria and restaurant sold out 3-4 hours ago.

Haha. Greece!
