German leaders today approved the country's share of the rescue package for debt-laden Greece after a boisterous debate in which the finance minister told them they had no alternative to the unpopular measure.
The lower house of parliament voted 390-72, with 139 abstentions, to authorise granting as much as 22.4billion euros (£19.5billion) in credit over three years.
