Video: Markets struggle amid Greek political uncertainty The radical left-wing coalition leader, Alexis Tsipras, who opposes a bail-out plan for Greece to avoid bankruptcy, said he would not take part in a meeting today called by President Karolos Papoulias to form a coalition government to avert another election. Markets in Germany meanwhile started Monday weak because of what analyst Robert Halver sees as an unclear political situation. Mr Halver cited the Greek situation as a major culprit for the low opening of the DAX on Monday. "We are influenced by political developments once again, and those are negative on the whole," he said.
