Greek Government Survives Confidence Vote /N Y TIMES

Parliament passed a confidence vote on Prime Minister George Papandreou’s new cabinet, formed last week to push through a fresh package of austerity measures required to receive international financing to stave off default.
 The passage averts early elections and a stalled government at a critical moment. Now, Mr. Papandreou must face an even bigger challenge next week, when Parliament votes on the new slate of measures, including tax hikes, wage cuts and state privatization, that are required by the European Union, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund before it releases the next segment of aid that Greece needs to meet expenses through the summer.
