Greek government spokesman Kostas Laliotis resigned in protest over the police shooting of a 15-year-old boy during violent anti-American demonstrations Sunday. Laliotis, 34, who was responsible for state-run television, said his decision “was forced by circumstances and human limits of endurance.” He said he is retiring from “active political life” but will remain loyal to the ruling Pasok (Socialist) party and Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou. Press Ministry official Petros Efthimiou also resigned in protest.
