Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis resignedMonday. His resignation came a day after Greekvoters rejected a demand by international lenders fornew financial reforms in the country. The lenderspromised economic aid to Greece if the votersapproved, and the government carried out, thereforms.
The finance minister's decision was a surprise,because he had said earlier that he would resignonly if the Greek people voted to accept the lenders' demands. Mr. Varoufakis has often clashedwith foreign creditors over the past few months. A few days ago, he accused the EuropeanUnion of "terrorism" because he believed it was trying to frighten Greek voters into acceptingthe EU's terms. On Monday he said he believed his resignation could help reach an agreementwith the country's lenders.
On Sunday, 61 percent of voters rejected warnings from leaders that ignoring the terms couldforce the country from the 19-nation union that uses the euro. Nearly 10 million people wereregistered to vote in the special election. Officials say more than 62 percent actually voted.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras says the government is ready to return to negotiations withGreece's creditors. He says the election results will give him the ability to negotiate a betterdeal for his country.
However, officials in Germany, Europe's largest economy, are not pleased with the electionresults. A spokesman for Prime Minister Angela Merkel said that because of the results of thevote on Sunday "by Greek citizens, there is no basis to enter into negotiations on a new aidprogram." A German Finance Ministry spokesman said "I can see no reason to enter intodiscussions."
Across Europe, stock prices fell when financial markets opened Monday, but quickly recovered.Observers blamed the drop on the vote in Greece.
In Asia, Japan's leading measure of stock prices lost more than two percent at the close oftrading. Hong Kong's leading stock measure dropped more than three percent. Stock priceswere also down in South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. However, prices in Mainland Chinashowed gains Monday after recent severe losses.
