There will be a German parliament special session on Wednesday morning
- To vote on a new 86 billion euro bailout package for Greece
Reuters add:
- Little doubt that the Bundestag will back the bailout
- But the vote is shaping up as a test for Chancellor Angela Merkel ... 65 of her government & allies refused to back negotiations on a third bailout last month
- No guarantees that the International Monetary Fund will participate in the rescue
- Merkel's coalition has consistently backed bailouts during Europe's debt crisis, 60 lawmakers in her 311-member caucus voted against even holding talks on further aid to Greece last month
