Greek PM survives no-confidence vote

-

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Wednesday survived a confidence vote after a row over a landmark name deal with Macedonia sunk his four-year coalition. A total of 151 lawmakers supported Tsipras’ government out of 299 present, including several independen­t Members of Parliament, the official count showed. Despite the victory, the subsequent fate of Tsipras’ government is far from certain and now faces a challenge to push through parliament the name deal with neighborin­g Macedonia.
