EU Shocked and Furious at Greek Referendum Plan
Greece has stunned Europe by calling a referendum on the bailout plan
agreed to by EU leaders last week. The move throws efforts to rescue the
euro into doubt and heralds weeks of market turbulence ahead of the
vote. A Finnish minister said Greece will in effect be voting on whether
to remain in the euro.

Political Paralysis Prevails in Italy
Italy's partners in Europe are angered by Rome's apparent inability to
bring its debt mess into order. Silvio Berlusconi's failures and a state

of the European financial crisis. The opposition appears to be powerless
and many wonder if the Italians are still capable of solving their
problems on their own.
