[02] PASOK leader: Greek people do not want a single-party win in
elections
Greek people do not want any single party to win the elections, they
prefer a collaboration of parties, PASOK leader Evangelos Venizelos
said on Thursday in Larissa.
"The country is currently in a very difficult position and society does
not want any one party to win, it wants alliances," he said in comments
for an interview and at a party meeting in the central Greek city. The
Greek people will decide what is to happen after the elections, he added.
He also expressed concern about the absence of PASOK from a possible
ruling alliance of main opposition SYRIZA and Independent Greeks but
said he was not worried about his personal future, as he was carrying
out his obligation to the country and to the party.
