One of three principals in Greek technocratic coalition Antonis Samaras rejected to sign a pledge that he approves austerity measures, generating a new complication for country's bailout deal. Samaras, the leader of Greek conservative party, claimed that despite refusal to authorize the oath, he supports Greece's budget for 2012. Nevertheless, Samaras's refusal creates a risk of getting aid worth в‚¬8bn euros.
