THE HEAD OF Syriza, the Greek coalition of Radical Left-wing groups, has said that he will not join a coalition government.
This afternoon Alexis Tsipras was meeting with Evangelos Venizelos, the leader of the socialist PASOK party in a last-ditch effort to lay the foundations for a national unity government.
It now looks increasingly likely that Greece will face a second election in order to try and resolve the political deadlock, as the two parties failed to agree on a common platform from which to build a national government.
It comes after the leader of the smallest party in the new parliament ruled out sharing power with PASOK or New Democracy, the two main pro-bailout parties.
It’s reported that President Papoulias will call party leaders over the weekend in an effort to grasp a last chance to broker a deal.
