Greece’s PM Costas Karamanlis has called a snap general election, although no date has yet been set.“I am seeking a fresh political mandate,” Mr Karamanlis said on TV.
There had been speculation that the conservative prime minister would go to the polls early given the wafer-thin majority he has in parliament.
On Monday, another conservative MP quit saying he was disappointed with the government. There have also been a number of financial scandals.
