ATHENS-Stocks are mixed today – but could have been worse – asGreece saw a narrow victory for the party that wants to implementthe European bailout conditions for the country. At noon the DowJones was down slightly, and experts today say the market willlikely see-saw back and forth as investors keep an eye on Greece,Spain, Italy and Ireland to see whether billions of dollars inbailout money for governments and banks will ease the current EuroZone crisis.

There was even talk that Greece could pull out of the Eurocurrency, a fear that may not hold weight now that the NewDemocracy party, led by Antonis Samaras, wonSunday’s election. Samaras said the country will meet theconditions of a second $173 billion bailout promised in the firstquarter by the Euro Zone to protect Greece from total bankruptcy.However, he also said that he’s going to try to amend theconditions to ease austerity measures that have caused widespreadjob loss and recession. More fires, set in protest, raged throughthe election, matching violence in February.

“We will work together with our European partners to add to ourobligations, the necessary policies for the development andtreatment of … the case of unemployment,” Samaras said in astatement Sunday. “(The policies) can no longer continue to hurteach family. We work by consensus with everyone, but withpersistence and stability.”
