Greece's interim Prime Minister Lucas Papademos has made the call for an early parliamentary election on May 6 after his coalition government pushed through landmark financial relief deals in a bid to rescue the country from the threat of bankruptcy. The election comes 18 months before parliament's current term expires and will become the first parliamentary elections since the start of the debt crisis in Greece.
