The bills that will be voted on midnight Sunday include a set of austerity cuts, structural reforms and the terms of a debt restructuring. They need to get a majority in parliament if Greece is to receive a second, EUR130-billion ($171 billion) bailout from its official-sector creditors, the European Union, the European Central Banks and the International Monetary Fund.
