Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras accused the opposition of being “trapped in a dead end”. “The country is moving ahead,” he said, “and it is leaving behind the era of crisis, but you keep on fighting from within your party.”  Outside parliament opposition supporters demonstrated against more austerity measures.
