Chaos: Greece may hold new parliamentary vote as efforts to form government collapse

Greece moved closer to a second snap election on Wednesday when the head of the biggest party launched a new attack on radical leftist Alexis Tsipras, saying his plans for a new government would push the country out of the euro zone…

Tsipras aides said he would send a letter to European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi, European Commission head Jose Manuel Barroso and EU Council President Herman von Rompuy on Wednesday saying that the rescue deal – the only thing keeping Greece from bankruptcy – was no longer binding because Greeks had voted against it.

He has also asked to meet French president-elect Francois Hollande, aides said. Analysts say the success of Hollande, who wants to challenge German-led austerity policies in Europe, had encouraged Greeks to vote against the bailout.
