Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has defended controversial new pension and tax reforms approved by parliament. The measures are needed to unlock further international bailout money, to be discussed at a meeting of eurozone finance ministers on Monday.
But they are deeply unpopular with Greek anti-austerity campaigners and trade unions.
Mr Tsipras said the changes would not affect the majority of pensioners and moved towards a “sustainable” system.
