CRI听力:Greeks Unhappy about the 3rd Bailout

Just a week after thousands gathered in Syntagma Square to celebrate a NO vote to more cuts.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras returned to Athens, where he'll attempt to push more austerity through Parliament.

Speaking in Brussels, he admitted difficult choices had to be made.

"We fought hard for six months, and until the end we battled to get an agreement to get the country back on its feet. We were faced with a very difficult decision within hard dilemmas. "

Reforms to pensions and the tax system are in the agreement.

Also, a 50 billion euro pot of Greek assets will be put aside - half of which will go towards recapitalization of the country's struggling banks.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel - suggested a balance had been found in this deal.

"I think we found ways where the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The basic principles which we always followed to rescue the euro are there, namely on the one side solidarity among member countries, and on the other side the responsibility of the country where changes need to take place."

But the Greek Prime Minister is facing hostility back on home soil.

Some in the Syriza Party believe he has gone too far in the cuts.

These Greeks think too much has been given away.

"I think the new agreement is an agreement that is going to be very difficult for the Greek people. It has been written by the France, it took the authority by the Germans and it will be paid for by the Greek nation”

"I feel disappointment. I feel angry because all the decision I think they will pass will be very difficult for the people."

The 60-euro-per-day limit remains in place for now.

Banks here will continue to survive, albeit on borrowed money.

Alexis Tsipras has, for now, avoided a Eurozone exit for Greece.

But at what cost?

The coming days and weeks will be decisive as to whether he's paid too higher price to prevent a Grexit.
