Greece's Papandreou faces crucial confidence vote
Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou faced a crucial confidence vote in parliament on Friday, just hours after calling off a controversial referendum on the EU debt deal, DPA reported.
Greek prime minister George Papandreou survived a confidence vote, calming a vicious revolt in his Socialist party with an emotional pledge to step aside if necessary and seek a cross-party government lasting four months to safeguard a new European debt agreement.
