Greece’s Evangelos Venizelos, the socialist Pasok leader and former finance minister, said he saw the first “good omen” in four days of attempts to form a coalition government that would avert a new election.
He spoke after Democratic Left leader Fotis Kouvelis outlined a proposal for a unity government that will work to keep the country in the euro and the European Union while negotiating a gradual “disengagement” from bailout austerity measures.
