After a two-day discussion in Greece's parliament, lawmakers voted on Sunday to pass a controversial package of austerity reforms, Euronews reports.
The passed measures, which entail pensions cut and taxes raised, are widely unpopular. Thousands of people protested outside the parliament building, with a small number clashing with police and throwing petrol bombs.
Previously, a general strike that was held for three consecutive days put the country to a halt.
Trade unions warn the country cannot take another round of austerity, and they will continue to question the government.
"We will not compromise. We will not consent. We will not back down. We will overturn their policies and we will overthrow those who implement them," said Grigoris Kalomiris from the Civil Servants' Confederation.
On Monday, Eurozone finance ministers will assess the package of reforms. The Greek government hopes it has done enough to unlock up to EUR 5 billion in bailout funds.
