***GREECE FIREWORKS ONLY GETTING STARTED!!! OPPOSITION LEADER VOWS TO OPPOSE AUSTERITY MEASURES***

The head of Greece's opposition says his party will vote against the government's latest austerity measures, killing the prospect of political unity as the country seeks to appease foreign creditors and avoid defaulting on its debt, the Financial Times reported online Wednesday.

"They're asking me to support the same kind of medicine for someone who is dying from that medicine. I won't do it," Antonis Samaras, leader of the center-right New Democracy party, told the U.K. newspaper in an interview.

...creditors fear the reforms required to prevent a default and a severe shock to the world financial system might never be implemented unless Pasok and New Democracy set aside differences and treat the debt crisis as a national emergency.

STAY STRONG MR. SAMARAS!
