In an apparent message of defiance towards the rest of the eurozone, the Cypriot parliament overwhelmingly defeated the depositor levy plan. Not a single lawmaker voted in favour of it on Tuesday evening, with 36 against and 19 abstentions. The turmoil deepened when it emerged that Michael Sarris, Cypriot finance minister, had tendered his resignation – only for the president to reject it. http://link.ft.com/r/ZE9K33/Q3GYE8/NSVWP8/C4CZNL/9MN4VH/XL/h?a1=2013&a2=3&a3=19 Tools Your account    Portfolio Email Briefings    Price alerts Keyword alerts    RSS feeds Subscribe to FT.com     © THE FINANCIAL TIMES LTD 2013 ABOUT THIS EMAIL You have received this email because you have signed up from the NBE preference page.
