Apostolaki resigns as PASOK MP, majority down to two


PASOK MP Milena Apostolaki has resigned from the ruling partys parliamentary group, reducing Prime Minister George Papandreous majority in Parliament to just two seats.

In her letter to Papandreou, Apostolaki said that she disagreed with Papandreous decision to propose a referendum on whether Greece should accept the debt and loan agreement it agreed with its eurozone partners and banks last week.

Apostolaki said that she would continue as an independent. The prime minister has called a vote of confidence in Parliament on Friday.

PASOK deputy Vasso Papandreou warned that bankruptcy is imminent and called on President Karolos Papoulias to form a national unity government that would serve for fixed period of time before elections are held.

Six members of PASOKs national council have called for Papandreous resignation.

 Too early to tell whether Greek CDS will be triggered,
As speculation mounts about credit default swaps on Greece's debt, ISDA's determinations committee has the ultimate say on whether CDS are triggered. ISDA said it is too early to tell whether a recent haircut on Greek bonds constitutes a "credit event." "As such, it does not appear to be likely that the euro zone proposal will trigger payments under existing CDS contracts," according to ISDA. "However, whether or not it does so will be decided by the Determinations Committee on the basis of specific facts, if a request is made to them." lol
