On the one hand support was provided by the message of the decision of Greek authorities to abandon the idea of holding a referendum for approval of an agreement reached with the EU to obtain a new tranche of aid in exchange for a fiscal austerity plan. On Thursday, Prime Minister George Papandreou, speaking before Parliament, made it clear that he rejected the idea of referendum on the issue.
