Socialist Lawmaker Wavers Over Austerity Package

Socialist deputy Thomas Robopoulos said Friday he was not prepared to vote for the Greek government’s planned austerity package, although he has not made a final decision, an official in his office said.
Speaking on private television channel Alter, Robopoulos said: “The way the mid-term program is now, I cannot vote for it. But I will make a final decision on Monday when it comes for debate in parliament,” the official confirmed.
Greece has promised its international creditors–the European Union and the International Monetary Fund–that it will pass in parliament a promised EUR28 billion austerity package by the end of next week.
