Greece: 4th minister resigns over austerity

A fourth Greek Cabinet member has resigned to protest European Union demands for more austerity in exchange for a vital bailout. Deputy Foreign Minister Mariliza Xenogiannakopoulou belongs to the majority Socialist party.

 

Earlier Friday, the right-wing LAOS party's transport minister and deputy ministers for merchant marine and agriculture also resigned. LAOS is a junior member in Prime Minister Lucas Papademos' government. (AP)
