Greek MPs have passed a controversial package of pension reforms and tax hikes despite mass public opposition, bowing to creditor demands in the hope of unlocking the next round of badly needed bailout funds.
The unpopular measures were adopted thanks to the slim parliamentary majority held by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras' coalition government — the main New Democracy opposition party voted against the austerity package.
Earlier outside parliament, Greek riot police fired tear gas to disperse demonstrators throwing Molotov cocktails to protest against the reforms.
Greek television showed police firing volleys of tear gas in response to projectiles lobbed by masked youths during the demonstration, which attracted about 10,000 people.
Tsipras' government was seeking to adopt the new measures ahead of a crunch meeting of eurozone creditors in Brussels on Monday.
The reforms will reduce Greece's highest pension payouts, merge several pension funds, increase contributions and raise taxes for those on medium and high incomes.
The austerity measures are part of a package demanded by the EU and IMF in exchange for the next round of an 86 billion euro ($133 billion) bailout agreed in July, the third for the debt-laden country since 2010.
Central Athens was largely closed to traffic with riot police vehicles parked in front of the parliament ahead of the vote.
