Coalition talks in greece fail

Coalition talks in greece fail

On friday evening, the radical left refused to form a coalition government with the conservatives, the socialists and the small party of the democratic left (dimar). These three parties together also had a relatively comfortable majority in athens, with 168 of the 300 deputies voting for them. But dimar in particular wanted to bring the radical left on board at all costs.

After the no vote of the radical left alliance (syriza), the chances of forming a coalition government in athens are minimal. Monday will probably decide whether a pro-european government will be formed in athens or whether new elections will be necessary. State president karolos papoulias now has the floor. He must hold final talks with the heads of all parties under the constitution in order to persuade them to form a government after all if possible.
