ATHENS: Ballots opened nationwide in Greece on Sunday for a critical general election that will determine whether the debt-laden nation will complete painful austerity reform or see its eurozone future jeopardised.
Some 9.8 million Greeks began voting at 0400 GMT in what is expected to be a close contest between the pro-bailout New Democracy conservative party and the anti-austerity radical leftist Syriza party that has spooked European leaders.
