Described as an SOS by the Greek media, the letter raised the alarm, saying that Athens face the danger of default as soon as the "early June", as it will be unable to meet with its foreign debt.Papademos has been shown, a former vice president of the European Central Bank has warned the country's president, Karolos Papaoulias if political uncertainty continues much closer to the empty coffers of Greece may dry out completely - and sooner than we thought.
technocrat Prime Minister, whose government has officially no longer exercised out power, made the warning in a letter to the head of state on Sunday.
Papademos, who won a second ? 130 000 000 000 EU and IMF rescue for Greece, after six months of tortuous negotiations, warned that the fund could be depleted faster than expected because that foreign lenders had kept vital ? 1 billion euros in aid of 5.2 billion times that arrived in Athens last week.
The political impasse in recent weeks had, he said, greatly reduces the ability of prosecutors to Greece to collect the mechanisms to work effectively with the result that journals of State had also fallen. Revenues decreased from an average of ? 40 million per day to less than ? 25 million.
The troika of creditors in the EU, the IMF and the ECB, with increasing force, however, clarified that there will be no more help before Athens receives a government who can demonstrate a commitment to austerity and structural reforms considered vital to regain competitiveness in a country whose economy to a fifth consecutive year of recession, is virtually to its knees. Once the government is formed, the troika officials will return to the Greek capital for financial review progress. Papademos said political uncertainty, was not only impede progress, but to put enormous pressure on the banking system of Greece, and thus the nation funds, the real economy. Six weeks of instability after the elections on June 17 - the most likely date - much worse, macro-economist, wrote in the note.
outgoing Finance Minister Philippos Sachinidis (though invested with real power) should respond to the growing concern about the headless Greece, when he attends the meeting of the Ecofin in Brussels the day today. Unlike Belgium, who managed to survive without a government for a record 541 days, there is little hope that Athens will continue to drift, even for a fraction of that time without the collapse of government dysfunctional first.

Finnish European Affairs Alexander Stubb
, also referred to the Greek crisis, warning that the country can not remain in the euro area If we reject the rescue agreement (as required by some parties that won the elections on May 6). Stubb said:

European equities fell Monday (London was closed for a holiday), but was not then a resumption of optimism that a unity government could be dug out of order.

aa stockbrokers Bloxham, Dublin, warned that " the things will get worse instead of better "for Italy in the bond markets, at least in the short term. This would add to pressure on Mario Monti, PM technocratic Italy, at a time when opposition to economic reforms is increasing.
agreed, saying: aaThese are critical times for Italy. The list of concerns is growing, and includes the ability of the economy to withstand greater austerity, shortages of foreign buyers at the auctions, the political environment increasingly uncertain and, especially, the intensification of the crisis in Greece. Italy remains extremely vulnerable to a sharp deterioration in confidence, particularly because of its substantial financing needs in the second half of this year.
