Greek coalition loses third lawmaker over tax list scandal

ATHENS (Reuters) - A Greek Socialist lawmaker resigned on Thursday from the co-ruling PASOK party after he criticised the government's handling of a list of possible tax cheats, further reducing the fragile coalition's majority in parliament.

Christos Aidonis, 50, a former deputy health minister, is the third lawmaker the ruling coalition has lost in less than a week over a deepening scandal that has outraged Greeks and tested the cohesion of the government.
