There's chaos in Athens ahead of a parliament vote on Greece's latest bailout package

It's getting chaotic in Athens.

On Wednesday, Greece's parliament will vote on whether to accept a new bailout from its European creditors, which comes with the condition that the country implement strict austerity measures.

The debate starts at 10 p.m. Athens time (3 p.m. ET.)

Ahead of the session, protesters have gathered in the central Syntagma Square, and things are heating up.

CNBC's Katie Slaman posted the clip below, which shows something like molotov cocktails being thrown.

In an earlier tweet, she noted that there was heightened security ahead of the rally and vote. And we still have a long way to go before any word on parliament's vote. 

But worth keeping in mind that Greece's parliament is voting on a package of bailout measures that is worse than what Greek voters rejected in a referendum a little over a week ago. 

 Germany's Ruptly TV is streaming a live feed of the protests here.
