NNA - The Greek government has survived a vote of no-confidence in the Parliament, as thousands took to the streets protesting austerity measures introduced by Syriza of the Coalition of the Radical Left on Friday.



With 124 lawmakers voting in favor and 153 against in a vote early Monday, the current government is to remain in power. Syriza accused the conservative Prime Minister Antonis Samaras and his government of "catastrophic policies," as the government was considering new austerity measures with the troika, the International Monetary Fund, the European Union and the European Central Bank.
