Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Wednesday won a confidence vote in parliament, clearing a major hurdle for Greece’s approval of an accord to end a dispute over Macedonia’s name.
Parliament gave Tsipras 151 votes, meeting the threshold he required in the 300-member assembly. Tsipras called the confidence motion after one of his right-wing coalition partners quit the government in protest over the name deal signed between Athens and Skopje last year.
