All three failed. At another meeting yesterday, some of the politicians insulted 4 each other. If these parties can't put together plans to form a new government by this Thursday, they have to go back and hold another round of elections. If that happens the new vote will be sometime next month and the world is watching.
One issue, those Greek leaders' facing is the same reason for rallys this weekend in Spain. * measures when the government makes cuts to try to lower its debt is the cause. Huge crowd gathered in the cities around Spain, protesting 5 the government's * measures. Spain's economy is stuggling severely 6. The nation's unemployment rate, 24 percent.
