Greek President Approves Tsipras's Call For July 7 Snap Election
Greece's president has accepted a request from Alexis Tsipras to dissolve parliament, formally triggering a snap election that the prime minister has called for next month after his party suffered a resounding defeat in European parliamentary and local elections, Al Jazeera reports.
Monday's request from Tsipras and approval from President Prokopis Pavlopoulos were considered formalities. Pavlopoulos is now expected to issue a decree ordering the new vote to be held on July 7.
