Lawmakers in Greece have approved a new round of austerity cuts amidst massive protests. On Wednesday, the Greek parliament narrowly backed a $13.5 billion austerity package featuring tax hikes and pension cuts — Greece’s fourth austerity package in three years. More than 100,000 people took to the streets of Athens to oppose the measure, capping a three-day strike and staging Greece’s largest protest since August. The protest ended in clashes with police firing tear gas to disperse the crowd.
