Greece denies eurozone preparing contingency plans for break-up One official told the newswire: "The EWG agreed that each eurozone country should prepare a contingency plan, individually, for the potential consequences of a Greek exit from the euro. Nothing was prepared so far on the eurozone level for now, for fear of leaks. After an inconclusive vote on May 6, Greece is heading for a second general election on June 17, which is widely seen as a referendum on whether it should stay in the euro. The radical leftist Syriza party, which wants to tear up Greece's unpopular bailout deal with the European Union and the IMF, came second on May 6 and is expected to emerge in a strong position in the next ballot. Alexis Tsipras, Syriza's leader, said yesterday that a vote for Syriza was Greece "chance to save the euro," while Greece's centre-right leader, Antonis Samaras, branded his election rival "naive and dangerous." European leaders have warned if the next government reneges on promised reforms that Greece cannot hope to continue drawing international loans, which would likely lead to its exiting the eurozone.
