Greece will
not need a third international debt bailout when its current programme ends in
four months, the country's prime minister has said.
Greece has
already received two bailouts since 2010, totaling 240bn euros (£188bn;
$272bn). Germany's parliament ratified a four-month extension on Friday. While
some MPs had expressed doubts about the deal and there was substantial public skepticism
in the EU's leading economic power, the vote passed easily.
Parliaments
in all 19 eurozone states must approve the extension for it to be granted, but
Germany's vote is seen as significant because of its key role as a creditor
nation.
Reacting to
the Bundestag vote, Mr Tsipras told the Euronews TV channel: "The German
parliament gave Europe a vote of confidence today.
"Europe
has now recognised that Greece has turned a new page... We start working hard,
in order to change Greece within a Europe that changes direction."
