Greece's main opposition Syriza party said on Tuesday it would abstain from any parliamentary votes until a national election is held, in protest over the conservative government's handling of a phone tapping scandal.
Alexis Tsipras, the firebrand leader of the leftist party, announced his decision days after Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis survived a no confidence vote in parliament over the case, which is still under investigation by prosecutors.
