PASOK party leader Evangelos Venizelos, in a statement on Monday evening after a joint meeting of political leaders chaired by president Papoulias, said that "we support a government of personalities as an emergency solution. In democracy the responsibility belongs to the political governments, the political parties, the political figures." The state news agency quoted Venizelos as adding that "it is not natural for governments of technocrats or personalities to be formed, however when we are before such a crisis, such a deadlock, we must accept this as well, it is also important that the Parliamentary support of this government be the widest possible." The PASOK leader further said that "the participation of New Democracy, the Democratic Left, PASOK as well as of SYRIZA (the Radical Left Coalition) is the minimum base in our opinion. Other forces could also participate, the party of (Independent Greeks party leader Panos) Mr Kammenos could participate, even the KKE (the Communist Party of Greece) must be asked and assume its own responsibilities."
One question... did the people vote for a government of personalities? Or did they vote to oust your party out of office Mr. Venizelos?
