Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou has called a referendum on a new EU aid package, euronews is reporting. A “no” vote could throw the question of the country’s solvency up in the air again, raising more serious questions for the euro zone. Greek PM calls referendum on EU deal The prime minister said a referendum was the “highest form of democracy” and would allow the people to decide. He also said a vote of no-confidence would be held, but ruled out elections. No date was set but the referendum should take place in the next few weeks. An opinion poll suggests nearly 60 percent of Greeks disapprove of the agreement at last week’s EU summit, with many fearing a total loss of sovereignty. Meanwhile, six leading members of Greece's governing Pasok party have called on Prime Minister George Papandreou to resign, the day after he called a referendum on the proposed EU bailout, the BBC reported. One MP has defected from Pasok, cutting Mr Papandreou's parliamentary majority to two seats - 152 out of 300 - ahead of a confidence vote on Friday. George Papandreou (Beta/AP)
