Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’s political future is on the line this week after a coalition breakdown prompted him to call a confidence vote in parliament set for Wednesday, raising the risk of an early election. The Athens Stock Exchange fell 1.3 percent in early trading Monday, while an index of Greek banks lost as much as 3.3 percent. With campaigning underway for an election that isn’t due until September, polls suggest an early vote might hasten a shift of power to the center-right opposition, New Democracy.
