Update: And Tsipras is speaking now.
It is almost 1:00am Athens time, and as of this moment the speaker of the Parliament, Zoi Konstantopoulou is at the podium, blasting the terms of the Third Greek bailout. She may or may not be the last speaker, although there is some speculation that PM Tsipras, who has been absent from the entire session so far, may follow her. Whether he does or not, the parliamentarians will vote shortly in a paradoxical vote in which the Opposition will support a law brought on by a European proxy government whose majority will vote against its own proposal, a proposal it swore to fight as its primary electoral campaign.
So, in a nutshell, confusion reigns. But then again, this is Greece or as it will soon be known: the Greek vassal state of Europe.
Watch the live, and translated, webcast below as the moment when Greece votes to hand over its sovereignty to Brussels will surely be a historic moment if only for some 11 million Greeks and a few European oligarchs who plot the expansion of "Empire Europe."
