Greek opposition leader calls for transition government
A Greek opposition leader is calling for creation of a transition government to prepare for early elections, rather than allow Prime Minister George Papandreou to hold a nationwide vote on a European Union bailout package for the country.
Greece ushered in a new government Wednesday that will put it back at Europe's bargaining table, ending a seven-week leadership vacuum that had destabilized this already fragile nation and cast a shadow over the future of the eurozone.
