Greek PM Tsipras survives confidence vote

ATHENS, Greece -- Greece's left-wing prime minister, Alexis Tsipras, has narrowly won a confidence vote in parliament days after the governing coalition collapsed.

Tsipras received the minimum 151 votes in Greece's 300-seat legislature for his government to survive. His term ends in October.

The defense minister in Tsipras' government who leads a small nationalist party, Panos Kammenos, quit the coalition last weekend over a proposed agreement with neighboring Macedonia. The deal calls for the young country to be renamed North Macedonia in exchange for Greece no longer blocking its path to NATO membership.
