Concluded Greek austerity deal gives rise to anger at home

ATHENS, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- Greek coalition party leaders on Thursday concluded a last-minute deal on austerity measures to secure a new bailout package, but a potential resulting fall in Greeks' living standards has angered many.

The agreement, reached just in time before the Eurogroup meeting Thursday night, is deemed vital in exchange for the 130-billion-euro (172.56 billion U.S. dollar) loan offered by the so-called troika of Greek's international lenders.
